Vancouver Canucks defenceman Quinn Hughes missed Monday's practice as he's currently dealing with a non-COVID related illness, head coach Bruce Boudreau said.
However, the Canucks are hoping that Hughes returns for Tuesday's practice.
This is the third straight day Hughes has not been present for team activities. The 23-year-old played in Vancouver's 5-4 pre-season win over the Edmonton Oilers but was not in the lineup for Friday's victory against the Arizona Coyotes.
The Canucks open their regular season on Wednesday night versus the Oilers.
Hughes had eight goals and 60 assists in 76 games for Vancouver last season.
