ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Brock Boeser, Danton Heinen and Kiefer Sherwood each had a goal and an assist, and Quinn Hughes recorded his 300th career assist in the Vancouver Canucks’ 5-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night.

Jake DeBrusk and Elias Pettersson also scored and Hughes had three assists for the Canucks, who won six of eight. Kevin Lankinen made 21 saves in Vancouver’s sixth straight win over the Ducks.

Olen Zellweger scored a power-play goal early in the first period for Anaheim, which has lost seven of nine. Lukas Dostal stopped 31 shots.

Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko took shots again from his teammates after the morning skate and could return to practice this week. The Southern California native and 2023-24 Vezina Trophy finalist has not played this season due to a knee injury he suffered late last season.

Takeaway meals

Canucks: After an 0-1-2 start to the season, Vancouver has earned a point in seven of eight games. Hughes was outstanding once again and the Canucks outscored Anaheim on both ends.

Ducks: They remain the lowest-scoring team in the NHL, conceding fewer than three goals for the eighth time in 12 games this season. Zellweger’s goal was only Anaheim’s sixth on the power play.

Key moment

Boeser and Sherwood scored 57 seconds apart in the first period, turning an early deficit into a lead the Canucks never relinquished.

Key Statistics

Hughes initially received credit for the goal which ultimately gave Pettersson a deflection. The late scoring change meant Hughes recorded his historic 300th assist in just the 376th game of the dynamic Norris Trophy winner’s career.
