Hughes steals the puck and then hits Miller driving the net who scores to put the #Canucks on the board.

The All-Star and Calder Trophy nominated rookie defenceman etched his name into many of the NHL and Canucks record books. With 29 points in his first 40 games of the season, Hughes was on pace for 59 points. If Hughes keep scoring at a point-per-game pace over the Canucks final 20 contests, he’ll break the 12-month-old record set by Pettersson last year. All-time Points Leader: Henrik Sedin, 1070.
With 21 points in 19 games, the Burnsville, Minnesota native leads the Canucks in scoring. Hughes currently sits at 49 points and leads all NHL rookies in points.
Pavel Bure , the franchise leader in points-per-game and goals-per-game, scored nine hat-tricks and 24 short-handed goals as a Canuck. Todd Bertuzzi is seventh in all-time goal-scoring with 188 goals in 518 games. Consider this: Hughes is on pace to outscore Pettersson’s rookie season (66 points), which is the current record.

Brock Boeser is off to a nice start to his NHL career.
That earned him a bump in playing time from head coach Travis Green, and he didn’t disappoint with another two goals and 15 points over the next 20 games. Pettersson is on pace to break at least six Canucks rookie records. Dan Cloutier is in the top five in all major goaltending statistical categories.
