Sam Colangelo and Brian Dumoulin scored but the Ducks could not complete a third-period comeback tonight in the second half of a road back-to-back, falling 3-2 to the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.

Vancouver convincingly controlled play and piled up nearly 40 shots to grind out a much-needed 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.

Vancouver let opportunity slip away in a second period in which it looked slower than a flawed and inexperienced Anaheim, falling 5-2.

Frank Vatrano, Cutter Gauthier and Ryan Strome scored in the second period and the surging Anaheim Ducks beat the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 for their fifth consecutive home victory.

The Vancouver Canucks will be without their captain when they hit the ice against the Anaheim Ducks. According to Rick Tocchet, Quinn Hughes will miss Wednesday's game with an injury. On Tuesday, Tocchet wouldn't state what the injury was but did specify that it was not the reported oblique issue that kept him out of the lineup earlier this month.
