Against the Flames on Saturday, the captain registered his 80th point of the campaign in only 71 games. He became the third Canuck to reach to break the 80-point mark, a feat that has only been accomplished once on the Canucks since 1982-1983z
Not only did Captain Hughes increase his career high, but by registering his 80th point on the season, he also became the fifth American Defenseman in League history to score 80 points. The first since Brian Leetch in 1995-1996:
Hughes slowed down a bit in the season's second half since before Christmas, he remained on pace for 100 points. If he keeps his current pace, Hughes will register 92 points over 82 games.
