Quinn Hughes Leads Dominant Canucks to Fourth Straight Victory Over Slumping Oilers
Hughes's four-point game extends Canucks' win streak while Oilers continue to struggle, falling to a dismal 2-8-1 start to the season.
- Quinn Hughes, leading all NHL defensemen with 20 points (five goals, 15 assists), had a goal and three assists during the Canucks' 6-2 win against the Oilers.
- The Canucks are currently on a four-game winning streak and an eight-game points streak (7-0-1). Contributions from other players included two goals from Brock Boeser and a goal and an assist from J.T. Miller.
- The Oilers, despite starting strong with a 17-2 shot margin in the first 10 minutes, failed to maintain control, resulting in a third consecutive loss and a dismal start to the season with a 2-8-1 record.
- Three of the Oilers' eight regulation losses were to the Canucks, who outscored Edmonton 18-6 over the three games.
- In a show of increasing frustration, the Oilers accrued six penalties in the third period, including a 10-minute misconduct on Leon Draisaitl and the ejection of head coach Jay Woodcroft on an unsportsmanlike-conduct call.
