VANCOUVER - Quinn Hughes will miss his second consecutive game as the Vancouver Canucks face the Colorado Avalanche. He skated briefly with the team but was ruled out by head coach Rick Tocchet due to an undisclosed injury. Hughes, the reigning Norris Trophy winner, leads NHL defensemen in points this season. He also missed the Canucks' recent overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Derek Forbort will continue to fill Hughes' position on defense. The Canucks have faced multiple player absences this season and will need to adapt in Hughes' absence.
