Vancouver is off Monday but is scheduled to practice Tuesday before hosting the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday (10 p.m. ET; SNP, KCOP-13, Victory+). Hughes has 60 points (14 goals, 46 assists) in 50 games, which leads Vancouver and is third among NHL defensemen.

While Adam Fox was recently placed on injured reserve, the New York Rangers received some other positive injury news.

The Rangers’ five-forward first power-play experiment didn’t make an impact in loss to Maple Leafs. But Peter Laviolette may stick with it.

The Rangers played their best game by far since the 4 Nations break but ultimately fell 3-2 to Toronto in a frustrating, disheartening loss.

Sitting out Friday

New York Rangers left wing Chris Kreider (upper body) is a game-time decision for Friday's showdown against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He has missed the last two games due to an upper-body injury but could return to action on Friday after fully participating in Thursday's practice.
