Jack, Quinn, and Luke Hughes will be facing off against one another for the first time in their NHL careers this week when the Vancouver Canucks host the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday evening.

According to NHL.com's Mike G. Morreale, it's just the ninth time in NHL history that three brothers will play each other in the same game. The most recent occurrence took place on April 13, 2023, when Eric, Marc, and Jordan Staal faced off against one another when the Florida Panthers took on the Carolina Hurricanes.

"Of course you dream you're going to play with your brothers in the NHL one day," Jack Hughes said. "You're in the basement, hanging out, playing, but you never really think it's going to become a reality. For it to happen, it's definitely pretty wild. It's three kids in one game. It probably hasn't been done too many times."

Despite being in different conferences, Jack and Quinn Hughes have played against each other on several occasions. Jack currently has the upper hand as he owns a 5-1 record against Quinn in six career games. The duo last played against one another on Feb. 6, 2023, when the Devils came away with a 5-4 overtime win thanks to two goals and an assist from Jack.
