It was a great day for the Hughes clan on Saturday, but a disappointing one for the Canucks’ member of the family, writes imacSportsnet.

just enough to beat the Canucks 1-0 and end Vancouver’s winning streak at four games.

The Devilish Hughes, last June’s first-overall draft pick, scored his goal at 14:08 of the first period, wiring a one-timer high into the net after a terrific cross-ice pass by Taylor Hall. Canucks penalty killer Jay Beagle briefly had a chance to clear, but couldn’t gather a bouncing puck just inside the blue line before it went to Hall.

Delete a 3-for-5 performance by the Canucks’ power play in Tuesday’s 5-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings and Vancouver’s extra-strength unit is equally bad, just 1-for-25 after another blackout in New Jersey. Pettersson took 11 shots during the game but forced the goalie to make only two saves. Six times Pettersson missed the net entirely, mostly on the power play where it looked like last season’s rookie of the year was trying to be too fine against Blackwood.
