During the Vancouver Canucks overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues, Quinn Hughes recorded his 340th career assist. Since the start of the 2018-19 season, the Canucks captain ranks tied for ninth with Aleksander Barkov among skaters in the NHL and is also the leader among defensemen. Hughes has also set the franchise record for assists by a defender and is just 11 points away from passing Alex Edler for the most points by a defenceman in Vancouver's history.
Latest From THN’s Vancouver Canucks Site:
Hughes is an elite talent who is able to elevate the play of everyone around him. This is one of the reasons why he won the 2024 Norris Trophy and was in the 2025 Hart Trophy conversation before getting injured. It is also fair to say that he is one of the most talented players to ever play for the Canucks, and, despite only playing 420 games, the best defenseman in franchise history.
As mentioned, Hughes has racked up 340 regular-season assists so far in his career. In total, 41 players have scored a goal that Hughes assisted on, with J.T. Miller leading the way with 57. Here is a look at who the 41 players are and how many goals they have scored that were assisted by Hughes.
