Luke Hughes News: Helper in three straight

Hughes had an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.

Hughes picked up a secondary helper on Nico Hischier's power-play tally midway through the second period. With the apple, Hughes raised his totals to 13 assists, 14 points, 48 shots on goal and 21 blocks through 23 games this season. He also extended his point streak to three games, and he has seven points in his last eight contests. The 22-year-old blueliner has taken on a sizable amount of extra ice time this season and is tracking for a career year. While Dougie Hamilton currently holds a spot on the team's top power-play unit, Hughes could end up back in that role by the end of the season if he continues to produce. Hughes might challenge 50 points for the first time in his NHL career in 2025-26.
