We all know Hughes has already set numerous defenseman records, such as fastest to [insert number here] points or assists, which put him behind the likes of only Orr and Coffey. In light of the amazing season he's having so far, I thought I'd compare his points/game this season (so far) to the best seasons by defensemen in NHL history (min 60 games) .

A P/GP equal to or higher than Hughes' 1.23 this season has been done 19 times by 7 different players, and they're the usual suspects:

  • Bobby Orr (6 times, 1.78, 1.69, 1.65, 1.6, 1.58, 1.54)

  • Paul Coffey (5 times, 1.75, 1.58, 1.51, 1.51, 1.29)

  • Ray Bourque (3 times, 1.26, 1.24, 1.23)

  • Denis Potvin (2 times, 1.38, 1.26)

  • Al MacInni
