Quinn Hughes achieves 400 career points with Canucks

Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes has reached a significant milestone in his NHL career. He has hit 400 points after helping his team by providing an assist on Dakota Joshua’s goal against the New York Rangers. This achievement comes just five months after he became the third-fastest defenseman to get 300 assists. Quinn Hughes reached the 400-point mark in only 421 games. This means he has maintained an impressive average of nearly one point per game throughout his career. He set the franchise record for career assists by a Canucks defenseman last December, surpassing Alex Edler. Currently, Hughes has 341 assists and 51 points this season. He is only nine points away from breaking Edler’s record of 409 career points as a Canuck. Hughes made his first NHL point during his debut against the L.A. Kings in March 2019. In that game, he showcased his skill by setting up a goal for teammate Brock Boeser. Throughout his time in the league, Hughes has consistently scored over 40 points in seasons where he played more than 50 games. Last season, he achieved his career highs with 17 goals and 75 assists, leading to his first James Norris Memorial Trophy. Although he has faced injuries this season, he has still performed well, with 16 goals and 66 points so far. With his impressive record, Hughes is on track to break Edler’s points record in significantly fewer games. The Canucks are thrilled with their decision to pick him seventh overall in the 2018 NHL Draft.
