Canucks return to Vancouver for first game since blockbuster Hughes trade

Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks host their first home game since the Dec. 12 deal, facing the San Jose Sharks at Rogers Arena.
The Canucks traded Quinn Hughes earlier this year for Zeev Buium, Marco Rossi, Liam Ohgren and a 2026 first‑round pick, after Hughes scored 23 points in 26 games.
Buium, Rossi and Ohgren quickly produced points, helping Vancouver go 4-1-0 on a five-game eastern road trip, with Rossi averaging 20:13 ice time and Ohgren scoring three points.
Elias Pettersson is set to rejoin the lineup Saturday, and Canucks head coach Adam Foote said his return will create more balance after a 15-18-3 stretch.
After missing eight games since Dec. 5, Elias Pettersson said shooting was painful but now feels better, and Foote had him skating between Evander Kane and Kiefer Sherwood despite some staff caution.
