👉 Pettersson, Hughes set for on-ice returns 👉 Who has the edge in roster battles? 👉 OEL keeps impressing All that and more in imacSportsnet's Canucks notebook 📝

Just re-signed to his second contract, Hughes is starting his third year in the National Hockey League. He was part of the crowd Sunday when 9,108 fans saw with their own eyes, in person, the Canucks beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 in a pre-season game.

Hughes and Elias Pettersson, the other Canucks star whose re-signing was finally announced by the team on Sunday, watched the game as spectators. They’re expected to practise on Monday. “We'll monitor them, just like we do with every player,” coach Travis Green said after Sunday’s game. “I mean, it's a fine line between going too hard and catching up. They've got a lot of catching up to do, so they're going to have to be pushed. But they know that; I'm not worried about it.

Green should have been pleased late in the third period when new Canucks workhorse Oliver Ekman-Larsson charged into a scrum as teammate Tanner Pearson was getting slightly roughed up. Horvat, Pearson’s linemate, then stepped in and exchanged gloved half-punches with the Jets’ Evgeny Svechnikov.
