Injury Updates: Hughes, Samuelsson, Chychrun

October 23, 2022 at 11:35 am CDT | by Ethan Hetu 2 Comments

The Vancouver Canucks are having a tough time at the start of this season, to say the least. The team is still searching for its first win of the season, and it’s gotten bad enough that coach Bruce Boudreau was openly questioning his players’ effort level when conducting his postgame media duties last night. To make their situation even more difficult, they may have to chase their first win of the season without one of their top players.

Coach Boudreau told the media last night, including The Athletic’s Thomas Drance, that defenseman Quinn Hughes is injured on a day-to-day timeline. It was noted that the injury isn’t expected to be a “long-term thing,” although few in Vancouver could be blamed for not caring about the long-term with the short-term situation this dire. Unlike many of his teammates, Hughes hasn’t gotten off to a horrible start this season. While his defense could stand to improve, he has registered five assists in five games and is tied for second on the team in points. If the Canucks want to right the ship after this disastrous start, they’ll need to get Hughes back and healthy as soon as possible.

Some other injury updates:

  • The Buffalo Sabres received an injury scare last night when defenseman Mattias Samuelsson, a core piece of their blueline, left their contest against the Canucks with a lower-body injury. While we don’t yet have full details on what Samuelsson suffered, we do know that Sabres fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The Buffalo News’ Lance Lysowski reports that the Sabres and Samuelsson “got good news” regarding Samuelsson’s injury and that the team and player “avoided the worst.” While this update is obviously relatively vague, it does suggest that Samuelsson won’t be out as long as some might have initially feared he would be.
  • The Jakob Chychrun trade winds have been picking up quite strongly in recent days, and the talented Coyotes blueliner could be on the move in the relatively near future. That being said, though, he’ll have to get healthy first, and he may not be all that close to returning. Per the Ottawa Sun’s Bruce Garrioch, Chychrun is still “a few weeks away,” and he relatively recently conducted an in-person visit to the wrist specialist who conducted his offseason surgery. Yesterday, we covered the timeline update to Chychrun’s status, and now with more information on the nature of Chychrun’s absence, (that it could relate to the wrist issues that troubled him this summer) it’s fair to wonder if we really are any closer to a Chychrun deal than we might have been in the past.

    How about those Sabres !!!

    But I’m cautious. Don’t they start every year 10-2 before they come back to earth and then eventually miss the playoffs, AGAIN? Is this year different, again?

      @GaryWarriorsRedSox—They might as well ride this wave as long as they can. What if they do the unthinkable and take the last playoff spot in the East, nipping TOR by a point, or so? Really unlikely, but, still…
