Canucks fans are a little spoiled as they get to watch Hughes on a nightly basis. He pulls off moves that few players in the world can do while making it look easy. While the moves look spectacular from a distance, they are also stunning from ice level, according to Boeser.

The Vancouver Canucks aren’t in peril, but their precarious position commands attention. It’s the type of challenge that captain Quinn Hughes embraces. He has 16 points (5-11) in his last 12 games and is three points shy of leading all defencemen in scoring.
