Hughes scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.
Hughes found twine midway through the first period to give the Canucks the lead, but Vancouver was unable to hold on and ended up losing in overtime. Hughes remains highly productive, however, and he's been one of the most productive blueliners in the NHL over the last few weeks from a fantasy perspective. He's currently riding a five-game point streak and has cracked the scoresheet in eight of his last nine outings, racking up 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in that span.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Three helpers in victory
Rotowire
Hughes distributed a trio of assists Sunday in a 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.
Hughes had a pair of power-play helpers in the second period, and he notched the secondary assist on Jake DeBrusk's overtime game-winner. Hughes extended his point streak to four games, and he has three consecutive multi-point outings. The 25-year-old is four points behind Cale Makar for the league lead in scoring among blueliners, but Hughes has played in two fewer games. Hughes has compiled five goals, 23 assists, 11 power-play points and a plus-8 rating while averaging 24:52 of ice time per game through 23 contests.
Hughes collected two helpers Friday in a 4-3 overtime win over Buffalo.
Hughes has racked up one goal and four assists over the last two games. The all-world blueliner had all three Buffalo defenders looking his way in the offensive zone in overtime, and Hughes took advantage by dishing a tap-in to Conor Garland to seal the win. The 25-year-old Hughes has eight multi-point performances this season, and he now leads Vancouver in scoring by four points. Overall, the 2023-24 Norris Trophy winner is up to five goals, 20 assists and a plus-8 rating through 22 games.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Valiant performance in loss
Rotowire
Hughes lit the lamp and distributed two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh.
Hughes spearheaded Vancouver's comeback attempt that ultimately proved futile -- the left-shot blueliner registered a point on each of the Canucks' final three tallies. The 25-year-old added three shots, one block and a plus-2 rating in a team-high 27:35 of ice time. Hughes is carrying the load on offense for his club with a team-leading 23 points (five goals, 18 assists) through 21 games. The star defenseman has five more points than any of his teammates, and his world-class skating ability is the foundation of why Hughes is one of the most reliable fantasy options in the NHL.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Helps out on power play
Rotowire
Hughes notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Bruins.
Hughes helped out on Jake DeBrusk's second-period tally. The 25-year-old Hughes has gotten on the scoresheet in nine of 11 games in November, and one of the two exceptions was Saturday, when he was ejected for boarding in the first period against the Senators. That was a rare lapse for the defenseman, who makes much more of an impact on offense than he does with the body. He's at four goals, 16 helpers, eight power-play points, 68 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 20 appearances.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Ejected for boarding
Rotowire
Hughes received a game misconduct and five-minute major for boarding in the first period of Saturday's 4-3 win over Ottawa.
He drilled Josh Norris into the boards from behind. It wasn't a hard hit, but Norris was cut and left the game temporarily. The officials had no option but to issue a major on the play -- rule 41.5 issues an automatic game misconduct if "an injury to the face or head of the opponent" occurs on a boarding penalty. Hughes and Norris are close friends who played for the USNTDP and the University of Michigan. Still, a suspension is unlikely.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: One of each in win
Rotowire
Hughes scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

He averaged just under 2.5 shots per game in the 2023-24 regular season, but he's at 3.75 shots per game this season, which could help him sustain his elite offense despite a decline in efficiency.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Another productive showing
Rotowire
Hughes recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
Hughes has lacked consistency on a game-to-game basis, as the 25-year-old blueliner has four games with multiple points and four in which he wasn't able to contribute to the scoresheet. Three of those multi-point efforts have come across Vancouver's last five games, however, so it seems Hughes is trending in the right direction. He should continue to have plenty of opportunities to produce as a member of the top pairing and first power-play unit.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Back on scoresheet Tuesday
Rotowire
Hughes registered two power-play assists in Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Blackhawks.
Hughes notched a helper on J.T. Miller's first-period power-play marker before adding another assist in the same fashion on Brock Boeser's third-period tally. Hughes added five shots, one block, one takeaway and a plus-3 rating in 19:49 of ice time. The star left-shot blueliner has scored in bunches to start the 2024-25 campaign -- in six appearances, Hughes has been held off the scoresheet three times, but he's picked up a pair of points in the mirroring games. Hughes is in a four-way tie for the team lead in points with six.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Two points in overtime win
Rotowire
Hughes scored a goal on nine shots, added an assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.
Hughes gave the Canucks a 2-1 lead in the second period and set up J.T. Miller on the game-winner in overtime. The goal was Hughes' first of the season, and he's up to four points, 13 shots on net, seven blocks and a plus-1 rating through four appearances. While he hasn't displayed much consistency yet, Hughes has the talent to exceed a point-per-game pace as he did with 17 goals and 92 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Opens season with two helpers
Rotowire
Hughes logged two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Flames.
Hughes helped out on a Brock Boeser tally just after a power play expired in the first period. In the third, a Hughes' block sprung J.T. Miller for the game-tying goal. The 24-year-old Hughes already has a multi-point effort to his name in 2024-25 after recording 27 such games en route to a career-best 92-point output last season. The Florida native is one of the most gifted blueliners in the league and should be well worth the early-round pick fantasy managers needed to acquire his services this year.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Deposits goal
Rotowire
Hughes scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Friday's 4-1 preseason win over the Oilers.
Hughes opened the scoring at 10:11 of the first period. The reigning Norris Trophy winner put up three points over two preseason appearances, not that he needs to do much to prove himself now. At 24 years old, Hughes is one of the top defensemen in the league, though even he may have trouble replicating the 17-goal, 92-point campaign he produced in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24. Still, Hughes should be a threat for a point-per-game pace and significant power-play production even if he takes a small step back.

Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Gathers helper in loss
Rotowire
Hughes recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Oilers in Game 4.
Hughes has four assists over his last three games, though this one was his first at even strength in that span. The defenseman is up to nine helpers, 14 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 10 playoff appearances. Hughes is still providing solid offense and steady defense from a top-pairing role, so the lack of goals shouldn't be a concern for fantasy managers or Canucks fans.
