Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes has been named the RSHL’s Player of the Month after a dominant stretch that solidified his place among the league’s elite. Hughes racked up 31 points in the month, including an eye-popping nine points over his last two games to clinch the honor.

The highlight came in today’s matchup against Seattle, where Hughes set a new Canucks record for defensemen with five assists in a single game. His offensive explosion not only powered Vancouver to a key win but also underscored his ability to take over games from the blue line.

Hughes now leads all RSHL defensemen with 56 points on the season, and his 45 assists are the most among any player currently in the league. His vision, skating, and offensive instincts have made him the engine of the Canucks' attack and a constant threat on the power play.

With his current pace, Hughes is on track for 112 points, which would break the all-time RSHL record for most points by a defenseman in a single season. The 24-year-old is not only rewriting franchise records but making a compelling case for league MVP consideration.

As the Canucks continue their push toward the playoffs, Hughes' historic season is proving to be one of the defining stories of the RSHL campaign.
