Quinn Hughes - Sets team mark for multipoint games Hughes had three assists in a 6-4 win over New Jersey on Saturday. Impact It was the 69th multipoint game for Hughes, who passed Alexander Edler for the most ever by a Canucks defenseman. He has 10 points, including nine assists, in his last seven contests. Hughes leads all NHL defenders in scoring with 49 points, two ahead of Cale Makar, and he sits in sole possession of 10th on the overall scoring list. His game has taken a significant jump this season, and should he keep this up, Hughes could contend for both the Norris and the Hart trophies by season's end.
