Complete, indexed highlights of Jack Hughes and his exceptional fourth season. Why the hummingbird? The easy answer, of course, is that Hughes is on the smaller side of NHL players—but that is NOT the reason. Jack Hughes’ very game brings to mind that most agile and remarkable of birds. He darts in and out of coverage in a most avian manner. He’s quick, and a quick thinker, which earns him more time to make plays than his peers. Add to that some of the quickest hands the game has yet to see, and an unquenchable creative thirst, and you have Jack Hughes, one of the sport’s true marvels. Hughes scored 99 points over the course of 2022-23, finishing just 3 points shy of 102. As one of the most exciting young offensive catalysts in the league, he’s only just begun to make his mark. 00:00 Breakaways 01:45 Stickhandling Magic 04:10 Playmaking 06:52 Hughesian Skating 10:14 Jack Hughes Against the World 12:10 The Little Things 14:38 Takeaways 15:21 Great Escapes 16:57 Sniping 18:53 True Grit 20:08 The Opportunist
