Vancouver Canucks prospect Quinn Hughes made his highly anticipated NHL debut Thursday against the Los Angeles Kings.
The Canucks selected Hughes seventh overall at the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. The smooth-skating defenseman registered 33 points in 32 games with the University of Michigan this past season and is a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award given to the nation's top collegiate player.
Quinn's brother, Jack, is widely considered the top prospect for the 2019 draft.
