   - 23 Assists

   - 33 points

- This game was Ondrej Palat's 700th Career NHL Game

- This being Erik Haula's first game back after missing three due to injury, he scored his 7th goal of the season

- Quinn Hughes has 36 points



"It was pretty good the first two periods, then pretty ugly in the third," Jack Hughes said. "We found a way to win, so that's all that matters."


"It's a big win for our team, a resilient win," Luke Hughes said. "Obviously not the way we wanted to close it out, but it's a big two points for our team."




   Funny enough, I was reminded of that one Jack Hughes interview when he said, "It's so awesome, I didn't know there was a city in New Jersey," when I realized that Vancouver was in Canada all this time.
