from Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet,
Tuesday, when the Hughes boys became just the ninth set of three brothers to play in the same NHL game, Jack had a goal and two assists as the Devils won 6-5.
The Devils are 6-1 against the Canucks and Jack has 13 points since he joined New Jersey, which this season added to their lineup Luke, the rookie defenceman they selected fourth overall in 2021. Like Jack, Luke scored in his first game against Vancouver on a night when Quinn, with two assists, helped push the Canucks back from a three-goal deficit in the third period.
But for all the attention on the Hughes boys, it was Jesper Bratt’s uncontested conversion of the rebound from Nico Hischier’s shot with 33.2 seconds remaining that saved the game for the Devils and left the Canucks with nothing.
“First off, get that one to OT,” Quinn Hughes told reporters after the game. “I mean, it's terrible to lose a game like that. Secondly, I think, them being up 4-1 in the first, we gave up eight shots but there were four Grade-A (chances). I don't think we played terrible, we just gave up big mistakes.”
