Rotowire
Hughes delivered an assist in Monday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Hughes set up Kiefer Sherwood's hat-trick goal, an empty-netter with 2:35 left in the third period, to record his 28th assist of the campaign. One of the most productive blueliners in the league and an outstanding playmaker, Hughes looks well on pace to record 60 assists for the fourth season in a row, and he might even surpass his career high of 75 assists from 2023-24.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Three helpers in victory
Rotowire

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Valiant performance in loss
Rotowire
Hughes lit the lamp and distributed two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh.
Hughes spearheaded Vancouver's comeback attempt that ultimately proved futile -- the left-shot blueliner registered a point on each of the Canucks' final three tallies. The 25-year-old added three shots, one block and a plus-2 rating in a team-high 27:35 of ice time. Hughes is carrying the load on offense for his club with a team-leading 23 points (five goals, 18 assists) through 21 games. The star defenseman has five more points than any of his teammates, and his world-class skating ability is the foundation of why Hughes is one of the most reliable fantasy options in the NHL.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Helps out on power play
Rotowire
Hughes notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Bruins.
Hughes helped out on Jake DeBrusk's second-period tally. The 25-year-old Hughes has gotten on the scoresheet in nine of 11 games in November, and one of the two exceptions was Saturday, when he was ejected for boarding in the first period against the Senators. That was a rare lapse for the defenseman, who makes much more of an impact on offense than he does with the body. He's at four goals, 16 helpers, eight power-play points, 68 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 20 appearances.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Ejected for boarding
Rotowire
Hughes received a game misconduct and five-minute major for boarding in the first period of Saturday's 4-3 win over Ottawa.
He drilled Josh Norris into the boards from behind. It wasn't a hard hit, but Norris was cut and left the game temporarily. The officials had no option but to issue a major on the play -- rule 41.5 issues an automatic game misconduct if "an injury to the face or head of the opponent" occurs on a boarding penalty. Hughes and Norris are close friends who played for the USNTDP and the University of Michigan. Still, a suspension is unlikely.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Another productive showing
Rotowire
Hughes recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Hughes has lacked consistency on a game-to-game basis, as the 25-year-old blueliner has four games with multiple points and four in which he wasn't able to contribute to the scoresheet. Three of those multi-point efforts have come across Vancouver's last five games, however, so it seems Hughes is trending in the right direction. He should continue to have plenty of opportunities to produce as a member of the top pairing and first power-play unit.
