March 21, 2024 Hughes scored two power-play goals Thursday in a 4-1 win over Winnipeg. - He opened the scoring at 9:00 of the second period when he stuffed in a rebound just outside the left post. Hughes then pushed the score to 3-1 with a redirection from the slot. Both goals came on the power play and were his first in eight games. He has four points (two goals, two assists) in his last two games. Hughes has missed 16 games this season, but he still leads the Devils in scoring with 67 points (tied with Jesper Bratt). Hughes' 23 goals also tie him with Nico Hischier for the team lead. When healthy, Hughes has delivered 1.24 points per game, which puts him 11th in the NHL. None
March 20, 2024 Hughes notched two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Penguins. - Both helpers came in the third period as Hughes had a hand in tallies by Alexander Holtz and Timo Meier, the former being the eventual game-winner.

March 1, 2024 Hughes scored a power-play goal on nine shots and added an assist in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks. - Hughes picked up his second straight multi-point effort, but it wasn't quite enough. The 22-year-old has 20 shots on net over his last two games as he's taken advantage of inferior competition on the Devils' road trip in California. The center is up to 20 goals, 57 points (25 on the power play), 215 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 44 appearances this season.

None

Feb. 12, 2024 Hughes notched a goal and an assist in New Jersey's 3-1 win over Seattle on Monday. - Monday's goal was Hughes' first in the three games he's played since missing 11 with an upper-body injury.

The 22-year-old has missed the past 10 games -- he sits at 15 goals and 30 assists in 32 appearances on the year. Once healthy, the youngster will be inserted back into the top line with Ondrej Palat and Jesper Bratt. None
Feb. 5, 2024 Hughes is now considered day-to-day with his upper-body injury and could return to action later this week, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Hughes appears to be close to being cleared for contact. Although it's probably safe to assume he won't be available Tuesday against the Avalanche, it's looking like Hughes could be ready to return Thursday versus Calgary or Saturday against the Hurricanes. The 22-year-old pivot has racked up 15 goals and 45 points through 32 contests this season. None
Jan. 25, 2024 Hughes (upper body) was put on injured reserve Thursday. - The move is retroactive to Jan. 5, so Hughes can be activated at any time, but he's not expected to return before the All-Star Game anyway. Putting Hughes on IR opened up a roster spot, which the Devils used to claim Nick DeSimone off waivers from Calgary on Thursday. Hughes has 15 goals and 45 points in 32 contests this season. None

Jan. 17, 2024 Hughes (upper body) is still regarded as week-to-week, coach Lindy Ruff told Peter Baugh of The Athletic on Wednesday. - Hughes hasn't played since Jan. 5. He has 15 goals and 45 points in 32 outings in 2023-24. When Hughes is able to return, he should regain his spot as part of the Devils' top line and first power-play unit. Until Hughes is back, Michael McLeod is projected to continue to serve in a top-six capacity. None
Jan. 9, 2024 Hughes (upper body) was labeled week-to-week, though he is not expected to miss months, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Tuesday. - Hughes hasn't been placed on injured reserve yet but the fact that he is week-to-week could see that chance in the coming days. Dawson Mercer is currently poised to take on the first-line center role with Hughes on the shelf, though Nico Hischier's entire line could be moved up. The 22-year-old Hughes scored just one goal in his last nine contests but did add seven helpers over that stretch, including four with the man advantage. None
Jan. 6, 2024 Hughes (upper body) is being evaluated and consequently doesn't have a timetable yet, but he will miss Saturday's game against Vancouver, per Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site. - Hughes was hurt during the Devils' 4-2 victory over Chicago on Friday. He has 15 goals and 45 points in 32 outings this year. New Jersey is also missing Timo Meier (abdomen) and Ondrej Palat (lower body), so their forward corps has been thinned. As a result, Dawson Mercer is slated to be elevated into a top-six role and Graeme Clarke will make his NHL debut Saturday. None
Jan. 5, 2024 Hughes (undisclosed) left early during Friday's win over Chicago, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - Hughes had two shots on goal and a minus-1 rating in 21:24 of ice time before exiting the contest.

New Jersey will immediately be back in action Saturday against the Canucks. None
Dec. 29, 2023 Hughes supplied a goal and two assists in a 6-2 win over Ottawa on Friday. - Hughes found the back of the net with the man advantage midway through the first period to tie the game at 1-1 and then registered an assist on Jesper Bratt's power-play goal late in the same frame. His second helper was on Tyler Toffoli's even-strength tally. Hughes has been held off the scoresheet just once over his last five contests, giving him a goal and six points over that stretch. Through 29 appearances this year, he's provided 15 goals and 43 points. Although the 22-year-old's current pace of 1.48 points per game is likely to dip a touch as the campaign wears on, he should continue to produce at an impressive rate as a member of New Jersey's top line and first power-play unit. None
Dec. 17, 2023 Hughes scored three goals, including the game-winner on the power play, in Saturday's 6-3 victory over the Blue Jackets. - The 22-year-old set the tone for the night by beating Daniil Tarasov on his backhand just 47 seconds into the first period, and Hughes then added tallies in the second and third to complete his second career hat trick. It's his fourth three-point performance in the last nine games, and since returning from a shoulder injury in mid-November, Hughes has produced nine goals and 17 points in 13 contests. None
Dec. 5, 2023 Hughes scored a goal on six shots and added two assists in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Canucks. - Hughes even finished with the most points of any member of his family in the game -- teammate Luke Hughes had one goal while the Canucks' Quinn Hughes racked up two assists. The 22-year-old center has four goals and seven assists over his last five games. This was Hughes' 10th multi-point effort of the season. He's up to 10 goals, 23 assists, 87 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 18 appearances in a top-six role. None
Dec. 2, 2023 Hughes scored a goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Sharks. - Hughes has three goals and five assists during his four-game point streak. He's also gone plus-5 with 29 shots on net in that span. The 22-year-old missed five games with a shoulder injury in November, but he's picked up right where he left off since returning. The center is up to nine goals, 30 points, 81 shots and an even plus-minus rating through 17 appearances overall. Even with the missed time, he has a chance for a 100-point campaign in 2023-24. None
Nov. 30, 2023 Hughes had a goal and two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over the Flyers. - Hughes even set up his younger brother, Luke Hughes, on the winner in overtime. Jack is on a three-game, seven-point streak that includes two goals and five assists. And he has nine points, including six assists, in six games since returning from injury. Hughes is back. And those two assists give him 21 in 16 games. That's the fewest games needed to reach 20 assists in a season in Devils history. The previous mark was 22 games by Scott Gomez (1999-2000), Bruce Driver (1989-90) and Kirk Muller (1987-88). None

None
Nov. 18, 2023 Hughes (shoulder) took line rushes during warmups and is expected to play Saturday versus the Rangers, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. - The Devils have just 12 forwards on the ice for warmups, which is a strong indication Hughes is set to return. The 22-year-old missed five games while dealing with the shoulder injury, and barring a last-minute scratch, he should be able to take on a top-line role with ample power-play time to give the Devils' offense a big boost. None
Nov. 17, 2023 Hughes (shoulder) returned to practice Friday, which could clear the way for him to play against the Rangers on Saturday. - Hughes has just returned to practice, so it would be a quick turnaround to lace up the skates versus New York. Still, the 22-year-old center would be a huge boost for the Devils, having racked up five goals and 15 helpers, including 12 power-play points, in 10 games to open the season. If he does play Saturday, Hughes almost certainly would retake his spot on the first line from Michael McLeod. None

With Nico Hischier (upper body) also unavailable, New Jersey has been utilizing Dawson Mercer and Michael McLeod as top-six centers. None
Nov. 5, 2023 Hughes (upper body) is back in New Jersey and is week-to-week. - Hughes took an ugly spill into the boards against St. Louis on Friday and will end up missing multiple games as a result. He reportedly avoided major injury, so this may not be a long-term absence. The budding star was off to an unreal start this year with 20 points in 10 games. With Hughes and Nico Hischier (upper body) out, the team will likely lean more heavily on Dawson Mercer and Michael McLeod. None
Nov. 4, 2023 Hughes is expected to miss Sunday's game versus Chicago, but his upper-body injury isn't as bad as it could have been, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. - Hughes sustained the injury during Friday's 4-1 loss to St. Louis. He's been off to a tremendous start, scoring five goals and 20 points in 10 contests. Hughes is the cornerstone of the Devils' offense, so if his absence proves to be short, then that will be a great relief for New Jersey. While he's unavailable, Michael McLeod, who has averaged 13:32 of ice time this season, might be asked to play a bigger role. None

He's up to five goals and 20 points in nine outings this season, including 12 power-play points. The 22-year-old is the first player to reach the 20-point milestone in 2023-24 and might continue to compete for the scoring title all year. None
Oct. 27, 2023 Hughes scored a power-play goal on two shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Sabres. - This was just the second time all year Hughes has been limited to one point in a contest. He scored at 2:09 of the third period to give the Devils a 4-3 lead. The 22-year-old center has found another gear to his game this season, racking up five goals and 13 helpers through seven contests. He's earned 10 of his points on the power play while adding 30 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating. None
Oct. 25, 2023 Hughes piled up four assists, two on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens. - With the score tied 1-1 late in the second period Hughes got to work, setting up Tyler Toffoli for the first goal of his hat trick before he dished three more helpers in the third.

Two of his helpers came on the power play, too, where he is so very good. However, he did struggle in the faceoff circle, going just 5-for-17, or 29.4%, which is an area he needs to be much better. The Devils are back at it Monday against the Florida Panthers. None
Oct. 12, 2023 Hughes tallied two goals on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings. - Hughes got the Devils on the board with a power-play marker in the second period before adding a second goal later in the frame, putting New Jersey ahead 2-1. The 22-year-old Hughes appears to be picking up where he left off after a breakout 2022-23 season, where he posted 43 goals and 99 points in 78 games. Hughes will center the Devils' top line again this year between Jesper Bratt and newcomer Tyler Toffoli. None
Sept. 19, 2023 Hughes has recovered from the shoulder injury that bothered him in the Devils' second-round playoff exit against the Hurricanes, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Hughes admitted he wasn't 100 percent for the Devils' Game 5 elimination against the Hurricanes.

May 9, 2023 Hughes tallied a goal in a 6-1 loss to Carolina in Game 4 on Tuesday. - Hughes found the back of the net early in the first period to open the scoring, but the contest went downhill for New Jersey after that.

May 7, 2023 Hughes tallied two goals and two assists in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Hurricanes. - After he was held scoreless in the first two games of the series, Hughes exploded for four points Sunday, leading the Devils' offense in a big Game 3 victory.

April 22, 2023 Hughes scored a power-play goal on five shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3. - Hughes has scored two of the Devils' four goals through three games, so he's not at fault for their lack of offense. The 21-year-old has added 14 shots on net, two hits and a minus-2 rating in those contests. He'll look to keep New Jersey's momentum up in Monday's Game 4. None
April 18, 2023 Hughes scored a goal and finished with three shots in Tuesday's 5-1 Game 1 loss to the Rangers. - Hughes scored on a penalty shot with 2:46 remaining in the third period to finally give New Jersey's fans something to cheer about, though Filip Chytil silenced the crowd with an empty-netter 48 seconds later.

April 7, 2023 Hughes scored two goals and two assists on three shots, fueling the Devils to an 8-1 victory over the Blue Jackets on Thursday. - The first star of the game, Hughes opened the scoring with a wrist shot that beat Michael Hutchinson. He would also add a power-play goal in the second period and an assist on both of Timo Meier's goals. This extends his point streak to five games with nine points in that span. On the season, the American superstar has 42 goals and 95 points in 75 games. None
March 24, 2023 Hughes scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an even-strength assist in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Sabres. - The 21-year-old struck twice in the third period to make the game close, but the Devils couldn't find an equalizer.

None

Feb. 14, 2023 Hughes (upper body) worked as an extra at morning skate and won't play Tuesday versus Columbus. - The fact that Hughes is skating is certainly encouraging, but he'll presumably need to return to a full practice with his teammates before getting the green light to rejoin the lineup.
