Status report
Hughes, a defenseman, will be a game-time decision. … Kampf is traveling and it’s possible the forward will make his Canucks debut at the Florida Panthers on Monday after signing a one-year, $1.1 million contract Saturday. … Demko, a goalie, is week to week and was placed on injured reserve Friday. … Blueger could rejoin the Canucks for practice Wednesday. The forward has been skating in a non-contact jersey but remains week to week. … Chytil is also skating but there remains no timetable for the forward’s return. … Mancini, a defenseman, was activated off IR on Friday. … Paul, a forward, is expected to return as early as Tuesday, when the Lightning are home against the New Jersey Devils.
