LATEST | Quinn Hughes makes history in Canucks' win
The Vancouver Canucks returned home from a five-game road trip and took on the St. Louis Blues on Friday night at Rogers Arena and put on a stellar performance for the fans in attendance.
Thatcher Demko stopped all 22 shots he faced, while captain Quinn Hughes had a two-goal night as the Canucks defeated the Blues for their first game on home ice in over two weeks scoring 5 to 0.
For his part, Captain Quinn Hughes had a historic night. With his two-goal effort, Hughes became only the tenth player in Vancouver Canucks franchise history to have three multi-goal games.

Hughes also finished the game as a plus-two, improving to plus-ten on the season so far. According to Sportsnet Stats, Hughes is the first player in Vancouver Canucks franchise history to have a plus-ten rating after the team's first seven games of a season.

It'll be a quick turnaround for Quinn Hughes and the Vancouver Canucks as they're set to take on the New York Rangers on Saturday night. It's still unclear as of 11:45 a.m. ET, who will get the start between the pipes. While Thatcher Demko started last night, he didn't face too many shots throughout the game, but given how early it is in the season, they'll likely go with Casey DeSmith.
The puck drop for tonight's game against the New York Rangers is set for 7 pm PT/10 pm ET and can be viewed across Canada on Sportsnet on Hockey Night in Canada.
