Vancouver is 5-5-0 this season, a mediocre start that cannot be pinned on the play of Thatcher Demko, who has been terrific in the team's crease. The 29-year-old goalie has a stellar 2.36 GAA and .922 SV% in six games (4-2-0), a stark improvement from last season's 2.90 GAA and .889 SV% in 23 appearances (10-8-3). The Canucks enter Tuesday's contest as slight +105 home underdogs against a New York Rangers team off to a disappointing 3-5-2 start, averaging only 2.2 goals per game.

The 26-year-old Hughes showed no signs of injury in his most recent game, tallying two assists and playing 26:25 time-on-ice. Filip Hronek has filled in on Vancouver's top powerplay unit in the interim, but Hughes is not expected to be sidelined for long.
