Quinn Hughes had three assists, including the 300th of his career, to help the Vancouver Canucks beat the Anaheim Ducks 5-1 on Tuesday.
The Canucks have now won two games in a row and are 5-0-0 in their last five road games. This ties the fifth-longest road win streak in the franchise’s history.
Vancouver has won all eight of its games against Anaheim since the start of the 2022-23 season.
Brock Boeser, Kiefer Sherwood, and Danton Heinen each had a goal and an assist. Jake DeBrusk and Elias Petterson also scored for Vancouver.
Kevin Lankinen continued his strong play, stopping 21 of 22 shots. The Vancouver goalie has a .923 save percentage and remains unbeaten in regulation, with a 6-0-2 record over eight starts.
Anaheim is on a three-game losing streak (0-2-1) and has a 1-4-1 record in its last six games.
Ducks goalie Lukas Dostal made 33 saves on 38 shots.
Olen Zellweger scored the only goal for Anaheim, which has struggled to score and has the fewest goals in the NHL with just 25.
Zellweger gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal 5:35 into the first period. But before the period ended, the Canucks scored two quick goals in a 58-second span to take the lead.
Boeser scored his sixth goal of the season, redirecting a Hughes pass at 16:22 of the first. Less than a minute later, Sherwood blasted in a one-timer from the circle, assisted by Erik Brannstrom, to make it 2-1.
Pettersson extended Vancouver’s lead 2:20 into the second period, tipping in a shot from Hughes for his second goal of the season.
In the third, DeBrusk scored his second goal of the season and second in as many games at 12:08, with Hughes earning his 300th career assist.
Heinen added a fifth goal for Vancouver, his third of the year, in the final two minutes to seal the win.
