Nabs assist in return Hughes registered an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

Impact Hughes missed 10 games due to a shoulder injury. The 22-year-old defenseman is up to 27 points (eight on the power play), 106 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 50 appearances. It's not clear if the shoulder injury was related to previous injuries that impacted him early in each of the last two campaigns, though it's a concern that he continues to deal with issues in that area. As long as he can stay healthy, Hughes should be good for top-four minutes and power-play time.

Impact Hughes was injured during the second period and didn't return to the game. NHL Insider Frank Seravalli reported that it sounds like the initial assessment of Hughes' injury is a dislocated shoulder, but that hasn't been made official by the team. Keefe told the media that Hughes still needs further evaluation and won't be available for the remainder of the Devils' road trip, which concludes Sunday in Seattle. Johnny Kovacevic, who was a healthy scratch Monday, is poised to draw back into the lineup in the second half of the team's back-to-back Tuesday in Edmonton.

Scores power-play goal Hughes scored a power-play goal, recorded two blocks and had two hits in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Hughes ended the Penguins' shutout bid early in the third period with his power-play goal. With the twine finder, he is up to five goals, 22 points, 96 shots on net and 39 blocks through 44 games this season. While he has plenty of time to catch up to the point pace necessary to match his career high of 47 points, the 22-year-old blueliner has taken a step forward in other areas. He is on pace to shatter his career high in shots on goal and blocked shots, making him a well-rounded defenseman as opposed to an offensive spear. He still holds solid value in most standard fantasy formats.
