Canucks’ Quinn Hughes leads all NHL defenders in scoring once again

Vancouver Canucks‘ defenseman Quinn Hughes once again tops the scoring charts for all NHL defenders following an impressive performance on Saturday. Hughes contributed to his team’s 6-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs by notching three assists, with two of them coming on the power play.

With this outstanding display, Hughes reclaims his position at the top of the leaderboard (46 games; 11 goals, 45 assists, 56 points), surpassing his closest competitor Cale Makar, who currently has 54 points.

Over the past eight games, Hughes has accumulated an impressive tally of ten points, including nine assists. Furthermore, in his last 14 games, he has amassed a total of 17 points. These remarkable numbers place him in contention for the prestigious Norris Trophy, an award given to the league’s best defenseman. However, with Makar also in the hunt, the battle for the trophy is expected to be intense throughout the season.
