As the games have grown in intensity, Quinn Hughes has dominated puck possession.
Over the last three weeks, Quinn Hughes has arguably played his best hockey of the season. Considering how dominant he’s been this year, that’s really saying something.
Facing a Buffalo Sabres team desperate to keep their playoff hopes alive, Hughes completely shut them down: shot attempts were 27-to-6 when he was on the ice at 5-on-5; shots on goal were 12-to-2. As a comparison, let’s look at a couple of Hughes’ primary competitors for the Norris Trophy and also Noah Dobson.
His corsi percentage of 64.1% in March is exceptional, particularly considering the time of year. Compare that to his contemporaries and Hughes’ exceptional status seems even more assured. Noah Dobson actually deserves a lot of credit for significantly improving his underlying numbers in recent games. He’s playing for a significantly worse team than the other three, which should be kept in mind.
