Jack Hughes<\/a>‘ iconic holey smile has been cemented in Olympic history, but it will soon be no more — the Team USA hero said he refuses to make it his “thing” after returning from Italy with a gold medal.<\/p>\n

Jack and Quinn Hughes and Hilary Knight<\/a> skated by the ‘Tonight Show’ set for a sit-down with Jimmy Fallon<\/a> on Monday … and naturally, the host had to ask about his pearly whites — or lack thereof.<\/p>\n

Fallon called it “the most hockey thing” to get rocked in the mouth, lose some teeth and go on to make the gold-winning goal … but Jack admitted making time to sit in a dentist chair is what’s keeping him from correcting his look.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When Fallon suggested it could just be his new signature look, Jack shot it down real quick.<\/p>\n

“I can promise you this won’t be my thing,” Jack said.<\/p>\n

He went on to say whenever he runs into fans, they ask him to show off his holey grin … but it’s clear he’s not a fan of how they look.<\/p>\n

There was also a heartfelt moment where Fallon read an old letter Jack wrote prior to becoming an NHL superstar … when he said he hopes to one day compete for Team USA alongside his brothers.<\/p>\n

As for Knight, the 36-year-old said this is almost 100% her last Olympic run … but she certainly made it count — as she became the leading goal and point scorer in Winter Games history.<\/p>\n

She also broke down her engagement to Brittany Bowe … and what she’d do differently if she had another shot at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Hughes Jacked-Up Teeth Won’t ‘Be My Thing’ … Vows To Fix Smile Published March 3, 2026 7:09…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[377],"tags":[5,40,43,86,2620],"class_list":{"0":"post-483507","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hockey","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-sports-news","12":"tag-tmz-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116167426462243440","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
