NHL issues a statement on captain Quinn Hughes

Quinn Hughes' strong season has translated to the Stanley Cup Playoffs as he's been one of Vancouver's best players through the first three games against the Nashville Predators.

In a post on their Public Relations account on X, the National Hockey League made a statement on Canucks captain Quinn Hughes, sharing that he can set a new franchise mark in the team's first round series, if he records two more assists.




There's no doubt that Quinn Hughes will get two more assists before the series ends, it's just a matter of when, not if. Hughes could very well hit that mark on Sunday in Game 4 as the Canucks look to take a 3-1 series lead over the Nashville Predators.

Hughes had a Norris-calibre season in 2023-24 and it's not shocking to see what he's done so far in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. If the Canucks want to go on a deep run and potentially win the Stanley Cup, they'll need Hughes to continue to be at the top of his game.
