Hughes is making a strong case to win his second straight award given to the best defenseman in the NHL. He leads the Canucks into Enterprise Center to face the St. Louis Blues on Monday (7:30 p.m. ET; FDSNMW, Prime) off a two-goal performance in a 2-1 win against the Washington Capitals at Rogers Arena on Saturday.

Records, it is said, are made to be broken. And as Alex Ovechkin’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s magical mark of 894 made its way through Vancouver on Saturday night, there is another goal-scoring chase that deserves some attention.

Quinn Hughes scored twice and the host Vancouver Canucks beat the league-leading Washington Capitals 2-1 on Saturday. The performance extended Hughes’ point streak to five games with five goals and two assists across the stretch.
