FLORIDA MAN

Tonight, Quinn Hughes returns home to his home state of Florida (hometown: Orlando). He is currently one of ten active players to be born in Florida and ranks second in total points (behind Shayne Gostisbehere) and first in points per game (0.83), just ahead of his brother Jack.

QUICK QUINN

Thanks to his third period goal and assist on Jan. 12 at TBL, Quinn Hughes reached and surpassed the 200-point mark in his career (22-179-201) in just his 242nd NHL game, becoming the fastest defenceman in franchise history to ever reach this milestone, doing so in 106 fewer games than the next closest Canucks defenceman (Jyrki Lumme - 348 GP). Hughes is also the third-fastest active NHL defenceman to the mark behind only Cale Makar (195 GP) and Adam Fox (241 GP).

MILESTONE MISSIONS

Canucks forwards Bo Horvat and Ilya Mikheyev are both within reach of significant milestones.

• Bo Horvat has 199 career goals in 612 games played and could become the sixth-fastest player to reach the milestone in franchise history (fourth-fastest among players who started their career with the Canucks).

• Ilya Mikheyev has 97 points in 184 career games (25 points in 38 games since joining the Canucks).

ROAD READY HUGHES

Posting a goal and two assists on Jan. 12 at TBL, Quinn Hughes collected his 19th career multi-point game on the road, tying Kevin Bieksa for sixth-most occurrences by a defenceman in franchise history. In those 19 games, Hughes has amassed 45 points (2.33 points per game), the highest points per game average among defenceman with 10 or more multi-point road games in Canucks history.

MR. 300

Recording his first of two assists Jan. 5 versus Colorado, Oliver Ekman-Larsson recorded his 300th career assist. He became the ninth player and fourth defenceman from the 2009 draft class to record at least 300 career assists.

HOW ABOUT THAT HORVAT

Bo Horvat's goal on Jan. 8 at WPG was his 29th goal of the season in 39 games, ranking him third in franchise history for most goals before the team's 40th game of the season (trailing Alexander Mogilny [33] in 1995.96 and Pavel Bure [35] in 1992.93).

• Previously on Jan. 3 at NYI, Bo Horvat registered his ninth game with 2+ goals this season, to lead all NHL skaters. He also became the first Canuck since Ryan Kesler (9) in 2010.11 to post as many multi-goal performances in a single season. Horvat now has 28 career multi-goal games, passing Petri Skriko and Thomas Gradin for sole possession of eight place in that category in franchise history.

• On Dec. 27 vs SJS, Horvat recorded two goals and two assists for the second consecutive game, becoming the first Canuck to register 4+ points in back-to-back games since 2002.03 (Markus Naslund, Todd Bertuzzi, and Brendan Morrison each did so Feb. 23-25).

NO FLUKE FOR LUKE

Canucks defenceman Luke Schenn appeared in his 900th career regular season game on Jan. 3 vs NYI, becoming the sixth player and only the fourth defenceman from the 2008 draft class to reach the milestone joining fellow first-round selections Drew Doughty (D), Josh Bailey (RW), Steven Stamkos (C), John Carlson (D), and Alex Pietrangelo (D).

  o Horvat ranked t-10th in the NHL in goals in 2022.

MIKHEYEV'S MOVES

With one goal and three assists on Dec. 27 vs SJS, Ilya Mikheyev set a new career high for most points in a single game (4), with his previous record of three points coming in March of this year (Mar. 3 vs WPG - 1-2-3). Mikheyev also extended his point streak against the Sharks, now recording nine points (4-5-9) in just four career games vs San Jose.

SCHENN'S GREATEST HITS

Recording five hits on Dec. 29 at WPG, Luke Schenn became the first defenceman to reach 3,000 career hits. He currently leads all skaters in the NHL in hits this season (184 in 40 GP).

*The NHL began tracking hits in 2005.06.

EXCEPTIONAL ELIAS

Scoring on Dec. 31 at CGY, Elias Pettersson registered his 17th goal of the season, with all 17 having come at even-strength. Pettersson ranks t-9th in the NHL in even-strength goals and is the only player with 13+ tallies to have scored all of his goals at even- strength.

• Tallying two goals and three assists, in addition to the shootout winner, on Dec. 22 vs SEA, Pettersson registered his second five-point outing of the season and the fourth such occasion in his career, setting a new Canucks franchise record. The previous mark was held by Alexander Mogilny with three five-point games.
