| April 10, 2026 | Hughes scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Wild. - Hughes was playing in just his second contest of the season. The 29-year-old forward has been a strong AHL forward for years but hasn't often earned chances to play in the NHL. The goal was the first point of his NHL career.

| March 30, 2026 | Hughes was recalled from AHL Texas on Monday. - Hughes has amassed 16 goals and 66 points in 63 minor-league outings this campaign.

Hughes played last season with the AHL Texas Stars, potting 23 goals and 34 assists in 69 regular-season contests, and put up great numbers in the postseason with four goals and 15 assists across 14 appearances.
