Quinn Hughes tallied three assists against the Anaheim Ducks to become the third-fastest defenceman to reach 300 career assists in NHL history.
Not just the greatest defenceman, no; the greatest player. Greater than Pavel Bure, Markus Näslund, and the Sedins. It may be a bold statement but it’s a statement that's going to become easier and easier to defend as his career continues.
Again, Hughes just beat Paul Coffey to 300 assists. That’s Paul Coffey, who is second all-time in assists and points by a defenceman behind only Ray Bourque. That makes Hughes’s achievement that much more impressive. He’s a legend in the making and it is a special treat for Canucks fans to get to see it.
Hughes now has a 64.3% corsi on the season, second among all defencemen behind only Shayne Gostisbehere, who has the unfair advantage of playing for the Carolina Hurricanes and their dominant puck possession system .
