Hughes posted an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

Hughes provided the secondary helper on Bo Horvat's second goal of the game, which came on the power play. That gave Hughes six assists (three with a man advantage) through six outings, but the 21-year-old blueliner also has a minus-6 rating. While the Canucks can score with the best offenses, their defense and goaltending has held them back this year, leading to a good-but-not-great stat line for Hughes.
