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 ...

All five of those players are still on the Canucks’ roster, which is only missing Elias Lindholm, acquired on the eve of All-Star Weekend, of the six that went to the All-Star Game. And yet, the team they’re on now is unrecognizable.

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.

Edmonton Oilers veteran forward Corey Perry put on a masterclass of the pest role in hockey during tonight's rematch with the Vancouver Canucks. The Oilers and Canucks game was expected to have some tensions after their last heated matchup,

Somehow, this soon-to-be 40-year-old, who had one assist and one shot on goal, was on everyone’s lips post-game on a night when Zach Hyman scored twice, Leon Draisaitl had three points, and too many Canucks to name shorted their employer in a game the Oilers led 5-0 at the 32-minute mark.

Edmonton Oilers veteran Corey Perry was in vintage form during a 6-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.

Hands up. Who had Thatcher Demko getting the goaltending call Wednesday in Music City? After all, with a pair of solid-showing victories by Kevin Lankinen, the Vancouver Canucks were expected to give the unflappable Finn the start against the Nashville Predators and a run of all three games on this road trip.

On the Oilers, only Draisaitl has better goals per hour than Perry’s 1.08—eye-popping stuff. If Perry, who has played exactly 1,360 regular-season games (55th all-time) and 215 more in the playoffs (13th most) gets to 15 goals this season, that would be his second-highest goal total in the last seven years.

Conor Garland had two goals, and J.T. Miller and Pius Suter also scored to help the Vancouver Canucks beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2.
