For the First Time Since Blockbuster Trade, Wild D Quinn Hughes to Play Against His Former Team
The former Canucks captain has 49 points in 42 games with Minnesota and says the reunion will not feel real until puck drop.
- On Thursday, Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes faced his former team, the Vancouver Canucks, for the first time since the December trade that sent him to Minnesota.
- The Canucks traded captain Hughes to Minnesota in December, receiving forward Marco Rossi, defenseman Zeev Buium, forward Liam Ohgren, and a 2026 first-round draft pick in return.
- Hughes sparked backlash after stating he barely knows the current Vancouver roster, with one fan writing he was "one of the worst leaders in nhl history" for failing to create team culture.
- The Wild have surged toward a playoff spot fueled by Hughes' 49 points in 42 games, while the Canucks currently sit in last place in the Western Conference.
- Minnesota faithful now dream of a deep playoff run as Hughes approaches free agency, with his consistent performance positioning him as a key contributor for the postseason.
