Hughes and Pettersson are the only two group members who seem likely to stay in Vancouver long-term. While he’s still on the roster, Pettersson has disappeared as an All-Star. He’s had just 35 points in 53 games this season and is struggling to even get shots on net.

Fans were on the verge of finding out who the Canucks’ captain would like to date, but instead, Hughes surprised his host when he revealed he did not want to speak about that, fearing that fans and folks on social media would attempt to match-make him with his celebrity crush.

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes wanted to join Team USA for the 4 Nations Face-Off final against Canada, but he won't be in Boston for tonight's showdown. According to The Athletic's Michael Russo and Chris Johnston, it was the Vancouver Canucks who ultimately prevented Hughes from flying to Boston and joining the USA on a reserve basis.

The NHL should bend the rules to allow the best defender in the world play for Team USA at 4 Nations Face-Off.

The Boston Bruins say defenseman Charlie McAvoy won’t be able to play for the United States in the championship game of the 4 Nations Face-Off on his home ice because of an undisclosed upper-body injury.
