Wild's Quinn Hughes: Records hat trick of helpers
Rotowire
Hughes distributed three assists and fired six shots on net in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens.
Hughes delivered a helper on each of Minnesota's final three goals Monday, including the primary pass on Kirill Kaprizov's game-winning goal late into the extra period. With the trio of apples, Hughes eclipsed the 50-assist mark on the year, which ranks sixth in the NHL and leads all defensemen. Not only is the 26-year-old blueliner trending toward his fifth consecutive campaign with 60-plus assists, but he also has a chance to reach 70 helpers for just the second time in his career. The only other time Hughes reached that mark was during his 92-point campaign during the 2023-24 season, which resulted in his first Norris Trophy. While his current goal total of five is well behind the 17 he posted in 82 regular-season games that year and trails Norris Trophy candidate Zach Werenski by 14 tallies, Hughes is heating up with 14 points on his nine-game point streak, which should bolster his already strong case for the top-defenseman award.

Rotowire
Hughes scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Wild's Quinn Hughes: Dealt to Minnesota
Rotowire
Hughes was traded to the 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.

Rotowire
Hughes (undisclosed) won't play Friday versus the Hurricanes, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Hughes will miss a game after initially being listed as a game-time decision. It's unclear if this issue is related to the lower-body injury that cost him four contests earlier in the season. The defenseman's absence will open up more power-play time for Filip Hronek, while Victor Mancini (upper body) was activated from injured reserve earlier Friday and could be an option to play.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Game-time call Friday
Rotowire
Hughes (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus the Hurricanes on Friday, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports.
Hughes is currently stuck in a 10-game goal drought but has racked up six helpers in his last four outings, including a pair with the man advantage. If the blueliner does miss out against the Canes, it would likely mean increased ice time for Tom Willander, who could also be a candidate to move up to the No. 1 power-play unit.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Hughes (undisclosed) is day-to-day and questionable for Friday's clash in Carolina, Dan Murphy of Sportsnet reports Thursday.
Hughes has a goal, 13 points, two PIM, one hit and 14 blocks in 14 outings in 2025-26. If he can't play Friday, then Pierre-Olivier Joseph will probably draw into the lineup, and defenseman Elias Pettersson will probably see an increase in his workload to help fill in the void.
