Quinn Hughes put the Canucks up 1-0 at 17:46 of the first period, taking a pass at the left point and skating quickly and unchecked down to the left face-off dot before snapping a far-side wrist shot under Soderblom’s glove.

The Vancouver Canucks took care of business without drama or suspense Saturday night, soundly defeating the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2. The Blackhawks are, to their credit, a more well-drilled and professional-looking side than what we saw earlier in the year.

Conor Garland, Elias Pettersson and Pius Suter each had a goal and an assist as the host Vancouver Canucks continued their mastery over the road-weary Chicago Blackhawks with a dominant 6-2 win on Saturday night.
