Red Wings prospects Shai Buium and Amadeus Lombardi are back on the ice with the AHL Griffins, though no timetable has been set for their return.

Also, Zach Parise's appearance, another familiar face back in town, Joel Eriksson Ek's big week and other nuggets from the beat.

Buium is first defenceman in franchise history to record multiple points in first period of his Canucks debut, the first game without Quinn Hughes

Michael Finewax's NHL trade suggestions include dealing for Zeev Buium, who gets a big boost in value after the trade to Vancouver and likely will see huge minutes on the power play.

The Vancouver Canucks were successful in their first game after trading away Norris Trophy-winning captain Quinn Hughes — and one of the players the team received in return scored the game-winning goal.

There were no standing ovations for Zeev Buium in New Jersey on Sunday the way there were for Quinn Hughes in Minnesota. But general manager Patrik Allvin was cheering in his head as he watched Buium collect a couple of points while looking National Hockey League-ready in his debut for the Vancouver Canucks.

With the Quinn Hughes trade complete, all eyes have turned to the assets the Vancouver Canucks acquired in the deal. The three players who came back in the deal are center Marco Rossi, defenceman Zeev Buium and winger Liam Öhgren.
