NEWARK, N.J. -- Hockey world domination wasn't something the Hughes brothers discussed all that much while growing up.

"You don't even talk about it. You're in the basement playing mini-sticks and it's inconceivable," Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils said. "To get one kid into the NHL is really hard. To get three kids into the NHL as teenagers? It's crazy."

But as the 2023-24 season begins, the Hughes brotherhood is set to take over the NHL.

Defenseman Quinn Hughes, 23, enters his sixth season after scoring at nearly a point-per-game pace in 2022-23, having been named the new captain of the Vancouver Canucks last month.
