NASHVILLE -- Thatcher Demko made 31 saves, and Quinn Hughes had two assists for the Vancouver Canucks in a 3-1 win against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday. Demko had lost four of his previous five starts (1-4-0).

It was an eventful night for the Swedes of the Vancouver Canucks, as the team managed a 3–1 win against the Nashville Predators. Nils Höglander, Linus Karlsson, and Pius Suter contributed to the 3–1 score.

Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko made 31 saves to earn his fourth win of the season. Quinn Hughes led the Canucks with two assists, his third multi-point game in a row. Nils Hoglander, Linus Karlsson, and Pius Suter scored for the Canucks, who have now won three straight.

The third period started with a long sequence in the Canucks’ end that featured Filip Hronek getting a stick to the ribs (uncalled), then Derek Forbort getting high-sticked (uncalled) and Pius Suter taking a penalty. The Preds’ power play is a good one, but the Canucks managed to keep them at bay. Thank GOD Noah Juulsen was in the lineup.
