It's not a secret to anyone now that the Hughes brothers (Quinn, Jack and Luke) are incredibly talented hockey players. The trio of brothers is bound for greatness, and after they've all been selected in the top 7 of their respective entry draft, they've begun to make their way into the League's history books already.

JACK FOLLOWS QUINN'S FOOTSTEPS

Quinn entered the history book last year when he became the fastest defenceman to reach the 200 assists mark, and Jack just added his part tonight, as confirmed by this official statement coming from the League:

''* Jack Hughes (4-6�10 in 4 GP) had a four-point night and became the first player to collect 10 points in 2023-24. He required the fewest games by a player in franchise history to reach 10 points in a single season, besting John MacLean (5 GP in 1988-89).

* Jack Hughes (4-6�10 in 4 GP) tied the fewest games by an active player to reach 10 points in a single season. Connor McDavid (2022-23, 2021-22 & 2019-20), Artemi Panarin (2022-23), Tyler Seguin (2018-19), Morgan Rielly (2018-19), Auston Matthews (2018-19) and Nicklas Backstrom (2009-10) also reached the mark in four games. ''

Hughes had a breakout season in 2022-2023 as he finally jumped to the superstar level. The young man collected only 99 points and clarified that he intended to break the 100-point mark. He's on a good pace with 10 in his first four games!
