Quinn Hughes, Minnesota Wild Vs. Vancouver Canucks (Oct. 25)

After spending parts of eight years with the Vancouver Canucks, making his NHL debut in 2018-19, Quinn Hughes served as the team's captain from 2023 until he was traded in December this past season. Though he's played 48 regular-season games for the Minnesota Wild in 2025-26, he's yet to visit Rogers Arena

During his time in Vancouver, Hughes appeared in 459 regular-season games, recording 61 goals and 371 assists for 432 points. He was named the 15th captain in franchise history in September 2023.

Hughes is the Canucks' all-time leading scorer among defensemen and became the fastest player in franchise history to reach 300 assists, accomplishing the feat in just 376 games.
