Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal shared his thoughts on the incident involving Corey Perry and captain Quinn Hughes.
Quinn Hughes scored two goals, while Kevin Lankinen made 32 saves on 33 shots to lead the Vancouver Canucks over the first-place Washington Capitals.
Face the music, Corey Perry. After Perry pile-drived Quinn Hughes into the ice on Thursday night, you figured there’d be some sort of response from Hughes’ Vancouver Canucks teammates. There sort of was.
And Teddy Blueger, who just outside of penalty killing ... a hard man of hockey and a solid two-way player. 3. If Quinn Hughes had been healthy the Canucks might have beat the Oilers in the ...
On the Oilers, only Draisaitl has better goals per hour than Perry’s 1.08—eye-popping stuff.

The Edmonton Oilers will host the Buffalo Sabres in a matinée matchup at Rogers Place on Saturday afternoon. You can watch the game on Sportsnet at 2:00 MT or listen live on the Oilers Radio Network, including 880 CHED.
Edmonton Oilers veteran Corey Perry was in vintage form during a 6-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.
Corey Perry is the gift that keeps on giving. At 39 years of age, he’s not the scorer he once was. He’s not playing the minutes he used. Heck, Perry isn’t always a regular in the Edmonton Oilers lineup.
The Oilers prove their ability to win even without the best player in the game, as Leon Draisaital and Zach Hyman dominate with some help from Corey Perry.
