VANCOUVER — The United States will not have star defenceman Quinn Hughes in the lineup at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.

The Vancouver Canucks captain has been ruled out of the competition due to an undisclosed injury.

Hughes appeared to get hurt late in Vancouver’s 5-3 loss to the Dallas Stars on Jan. 31 and has missed three straight games for the Canucks.

The reigning Norris Trophy winner as the NHL’s top defenceman, he has 14 goals and 45 assists in 47 games this season.
