Hughes etches his name in NHL history again, tallying 25 assists faster than any defenseman before him and extending his impressive point streak.
ST. PAUL, Minn. - The Minnesota Wild (31-14-10) didn’t win on volume Thursday night. They scraped out not so pretty win against the Calgary Flames (21-26-6).
But it was yet another game where Quinn Hughes set a record.
Per NHLStats, Hughes (2-25—27 in 23 GP) tied Paul Coffey (23 GP w/ PIT) and Sergei Zubov (23 GP w/ PIT) as the fastest defenseman in NHL history to record 25 assists with a franchise.
With his assist on the power play, Hughes also extended his assist streak to seven games and matched the longest run by a defenseman in franchise history, tying Jared Spurgeon (7 GP in 2021-22) and Ryan Suter (7 GP in 2013-14).
Just another night and another Hughes story.
