LATEST | NHL makes a statement regarding Canucks captain Quinn Hughes

The Vancouver Canucks may not have won on Thursday night in Calgary, as they dropped the game 5-2 to the Flames, but it was a milestone night for captain Quinn Hughes.

Hughes, 24, played in his 300th career National Hockey League game last night and is in some pretty elite company according to the league's Public Relations account on X.

"We've got to enjoy watching @Canucks captain Quinn Hughes play hockey for 300 games now.

Most assists at 300th career game among defencemen, history:


239 - Bobby Orr
238 - Brian Leetch
235 - Quinn Hughes"

Of course, after the NHL's Public Relations account made that post, Quinn Hughes put up another assist to bring his total to 236 in 300 games, which is an incredible accomplishment.

With the way Quinn Hughes has played to start the 2023-24 season, it wouldn't be surprising at all if he's able to reach the 100-point mark and would be the second defencemen to do so in as many years, following Erik Karlsson who had 101 points in 2022-23.
