When he added another points to his already solid season during the game against the Sharks, Hughes became the defenseman to register the most points in the same calendar month and still has room to improve that mark since the Canucks have two more games before the end of the month still:
The versatile defenceman is now up to 33 points after 22 games and on pace for 123 points. At his current pace, he would become the first defenceman the break 110-point since Paul Coffey had 113 in 1988-89 with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
