VANCOUVER – The United States will not have star defenceman Quinn Hughes in the lineup at the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off.

The Vancouver Canucks captain has been ruled out of the competition due to an undisclosed injury.

In a Sunday afternoon post on X, the former Twitter, general manager Patrik Allvin confirmed that Hughes would not play in the tournament.

Hughes appeared to get hurt late in Vancouver’s 5-3 loss to the Dallas Stars on Jan. 31 and has missed four straight games for the Canucks.

The reigning Norris Trophy winner as the NHL’s top defenceman, he has 14 goals and 45 assists in 47 games this season. 

Hughes was set to play on an American squad with his younger brother, New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes.

USA Hockey announced that Jake Sanderson of the Ottawa Senators will replace Quinn.

Injuries have forced several players to pull out of the international competition, including Canadian defenceman Alex Pietrangelo, Finnish blueliner Miro Heiskanen and Swedish goaltender Jacob Markstrom.
