Tocchet later said Hughes would not play against the Avs and his status going forward will be monitored day to day.

Hughes also missed Vancouver’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday.

The reigning Norris Trophy winner as the league’s top blueliner suffered an undisclosed injury in the Canucks’ 5-3 road loss to the Dallas Stars on Friday.
