No Other NHLer This Season Has Done What Quinn Hughes Just Pulled Off for the Vancouver Canucks

During their second game of a six-game road trip on Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks took on a familiar face in J.T. Miller and the New York Rangers, and despite the loss, Quinn Hughes reached a big milestone in his career.

Hughes picked up his 400th career point on Dakota Joshua's first period goal and is now just 11 back of the Vancouver Canucks franchise record for points by a defenseman.

Reaching the 400-point mark in his 421st career game is a very impressive milestone and has almost beaten Alexander Edler's franchise record in 500 less games than the Swedish blueliner.

Along with his milestone, Quinn Hughes' skating, which has always been one of his best attributes, took center stage during Saturday's game and the Vancouver Canucks captain now sits first in the NHL in max skating speed.

According to the National Hockey League's Public Relations account on social media, Hughes reached 24.56 miles per hour during Saturday's game, which for Canadians, works out to 39.52 kph.

Hughes' speed on Saturday was 0.07 mph faster than Martin Necas, who hit 24.49 mph in early December when he was still a member of the Carolina Hurricanes organization.

Quinn Hughes continues to impress everyone in the hockey world with what he's capable of doing for this team, whether that be his skating, hockey IQ or his ability to drive offense.

Without Quinn Hughes and his 67 points in 56 games this season, it's hard to see the Vancouver Canucks in the position they are today and that's five points back of the second wild card spot in the Western Conference.

Over the team's final 12 games of the regular season, they'll need their captain to continue producing at a high rate if they want to have a chance at making it back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a second consecutive year.
