LATEST | Quinn Hughes with another incredible accomplishment

Canucks captain Quinn Hughes scored his 75th point of the season in Saturday night's 5-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets. He picked up two assists in the game to put him at 76 total points this season — good for 12th in the entire NHL and first among defensemen.

The total ties his career-high mark set last season in 78 games. This season, Hughes has achieved the mark in 12 less games — having played just 66 to date. He would need 24 points over the team's final 16 games to reach the elusive 100-point mark, an incredibly rare achievement for defensemen. In addition to his incredible offensive numbers, he posts an astounding plus-36 rating, second in the NHL to only Gustav Forsling of the Florida Panthers.

With his first assist on Saturday, he joined Brent Burns (who did so in 2015-16 and 2016-17) as the only two active defensemen to post consecutive 75-point campaigns. Fans have to believe that with his improved play this season and last, Hughes is in line for many more dominant offensive seasons.
