Oct. 7: NHL Preseason Roundup

Quinn Hughes had a goal and an assist in his preseason debut for the Vancouver Canucks in a 3-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place in Edmonton on Thursday.

Elias Pettersson also made his debut and had an assist on Nic Petan's power-play goal in the second period for Vancouver. Jaroslav Halak made 39 saves.
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each scored for Edmonton, and Derek Ryan had the go-ahead goal in the second period. Mike Smith made 35 saves.
