Hughes started nearly 83% of his 5-on-5 shifts in the offensive zone in a highly sheltered five-game stint with the Canucks last season. Now he's being used like a top-four defenseman, still starting the majority of his shifts in the offensive zone but without as much sheltering. The forward Hughes has had the most ice time against this season? Connor McDavid. And the only time McDavid has scored in the nearly 40 minutes of ice time against Hughes was in the first game of the season.
