If Quinn Hughes doesn\u2019t sleep on airplanes, he might not get any sleep at all this week.<\/p>\n
Fresh off his Olympic gold medal in Italy, his raucous team party in Florida, his invite to the White House in Washington, a brief stop in Minnesota, and then a big road win in Colorado, the Minnesota Wild defenseman will enjoy some time on the celebrity A-list \u2014 and several more flights \u2014 in the coming days.<\/p>\n
After Friday night\u2019s game in Utah, Hughes will be jetting to New York City to appear as a guest on Saturday Night Live. With that out of the way, he will fly back to Minnesota for the Wild\u2019s afternoon game versus St. Louis on Sunday.<\/p>\n
From there, it\u2019s back to the Big Apple where on Monday he and his brother Jack will appear alongside Team USA women\u2019s star Hillary Knight on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Then Hughes will fly back to Minnesota for the Wild\u2019s Tuesday night home game versus Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n
Even before the details of the national TV appearances were revealed, Hughes told reporters in Denver before the Wild\u2019s 5-2 win over Colorado that the past few weeks have been \u201cA whirlwind, and it\u2019s just crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Younger brother Jack, who scored the winning OT goal in the finale versus Canada, plays just across the river from New York City, for the New Jersey Devils. But with them playing a 5 p.m. ET game in St. Louis on Saturday, it is up in the air whether he will be able to make it to the NBC Studios in Midtown Manhattan in time for the live broadcast of SNL.<\/p>\n
On Monday, Fallon will welcome the trio of Olympians along with actors Nicole Kidman and Luke Thompson. The show, which airs at 10:35 p.m. Minnesota time, will also feature a cooking demo by Chef Mario Carbone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If Quinn Hughes doesn\u2019t sleep on airplanes, he might not get any sleep at all this week.
