Players To Watch:

Vancouver Canucks

Quinn Hughes is on pace for another all-star season. Hughes is projected to have 18 goals and 55 assists for 73 points. The 25-year-old blueliner had a goal and an assist in the OT loss to Carolina on October 28. Hughes has only two power play assists this season, but he’ll be piling up power play points in no time.

San Jose Sharks

2023 first-round pick Will Smith finally snapped his scoring drought on Halloween night with 2 goals in the Sharks 3-2 win over the Blackhawks. Smith may now be able to just relax and play with confidence and let his talent shine through. The Sharks should be getting a dangerous offensive player the rest of the season.
