Wild's Quinn Hughes: Scores in team debut
Quinn Hughes scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.Hughes wasn't in the lineup Saturday versus the Senators as he got settled in following Friday's trade.

He's now at three goals, 21 assists, 77 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 27 appearances when accounting for his time with the Canucks to begin the year. Hughes' scoring potential should tick up a bit with the Wild, who have a much stronger supporting cast.

Wild's Quinn Hughes: Dealt to Minnesota
Quinn Hughes was traded to the Minnesota Wild from the Canucks on Friday in exchange for Marco Rossi (lower body), Zeev Buium, Liam Ohgren and a 2026 first-round pick, Darren Dreger of TSN reports. Per Michael Russo of The Athletic, Hughes' Minnesota debut will be Sunday versus the Bruins.Hughes' divorce from the Canucks went much quicker than last year's J.T. Miller saga. The Wild will accelerate their competitive timeline by acquiring Hughes, who immediately slots in as their top defenseman, bumping Brock Faber down to the second power-play unit. Hughes has 23 points (12 on the power play) and a minus-10 rating over 26 appearances this season, but his offense should take off with a more competent supporting cast, which includes a true superstar winger in Kirill Kaprizov.
