Jack Hughes, the top prospect ahead of the 2019 NHL draft, passed Alex Ovechkin for the most career points at the IIHF Men's World Under-18 Championship on Sunday, according to ESPN.com.
Hughes recorded three points in the United State's 5-2 win over Canada in the bronze-medal game, bringing him to 32 career points in 14 games, one ahead of Ovechkin in the same number of contests played. And Hughes' 20 points in this year's tournament fell just one shy of the record set by Nikita Kucherov in 2011.
