On Saturday night in Vancouver, the Canucks were somewhat soundly outplayed in the opening 20 minutes but managed to come out of the first period thanks to some misses at the goal mouth from Tom Wilson, Matt Roy and Lars Eller and thanks to one of the most absurd individual offensive efforts you’ll see all season from a blueliner.

Quinn Hughes scored two goals and the Vancouver Canucks held on to defeat the visiting Washington Capitals 2-1 on Saturday night, ending Washington's six-game winning streak.

Several streaks, including a run of 12 games with a point, come to an end as the Capitals are stymied by some crafty work in goal in 2-1 loss to Canucks.
