While it’s not confirmed exactly when he reinjured himself, Hughes did have an awkward fall after one of the Kraken goals in the second period, which could be the culprit. He went down the tunnel to the dressing room shortly after but returned to the bench just a few moments later.

Not only did the Canucks lose to the Kraken, but they also lost captain Quinn Hughes for the second half of the third period.

Chris Kreider (upper body) could miss his fourth straight game against the Nashville Predators at Madison Square Garden on Sunday (7 p.m. ET; FDSNSO, MSG2, SNP, SNO, SNE, TVAS). The forward participated in the morning skate but remainder on the ice afterwards. He placed on injured reserve Saturday but can be activated at any time.
