Top Luke Hughes News

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Two points against Pens

    Hughes picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.

    He had a hand in tallies by Cody Glass in the first period and Nico Hischier in the third. The 21-year-old blueliner has embraced his new role as the Devils' top defenseman since Dougie Hamilton (lower body) was lost for the season, and over the last six games -- including the one in which Hamilton got hurt -- Hughes has produced a goal and seven points, including four assists with the man advantage.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Two-point effort in win

    Hughes scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

    After helping to set up Nico Hischier for the game's opening tally early in the first period, Hughes potted New Jersey's final goal just 26 seconds into the third. The 21-year-old blueliner has caught fire since the 4 Nations Face-Off, and over the last eight games he's produced a goal and nine points. With Dougie Hamilton (lower body) lacking a timeline for his return, Hughes will be leaned on heavily down the stretch as the Devils try to lock up a playoff spot.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Helps out twice on power play

    Hughes logged two power-play assists, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

    Hughes assisted on goals by Timo Meier and Nico Hischier during the Devils' comeback push. The 21-year-old Hughes had a bit of a rough game on defense, but he's been steady on offense with six helpers across his last five games. The blueliner is up to 28 points (eight on the power play), 85 shots on net, 47 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 54 outings this season.

    Hughes has four helpers over his last three games. He briefly left Saturday's contest after taking a hit late in the second period but finished the game with 22:42 of ice time. Hughes has done well in an increased role as the season has progressed. He's up to 26 points, 81 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 52 appearances this campaign.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Provides another assist

    Hughes notched an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

    Hughes has three helpers over his last two contests, with his latest assist setting up his elder brother, Jack Hughes, for the Devils' lone goal Wednesday. The younger Hughes has earned six points and a plus-1 rating over his last eight outings as he continues to make an impact on offense. For the season, he has 25 points, 79 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 51 games.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Dishes pair of helpers

    Hughes logged two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Predators.

    Hughes earned his second multi-point effort in seven outings, a span in which he has two goals and three assists. The 21-year-old defenseman didn't get any power-play time Sunday, but the Devils only had one abbreviated opportunity with the man advantage, so it's nothing to worry about at this time. Hughes is enjoying a strong second NHL campaign with 24 points, 76 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 50 appearances while maintaining his place on the Devils' deep blue line.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Finds twine against Montreal

    Hughes scored a goal, had one shot on net and blocked one shot in a 4-0 win over the Canadiens on Saturday.

    Hughes rounded out the scoring at the 10:09 mark of the third period. He didn't have a point in three straight outings going into Saturday's matchup and has two goals and three helpers in his last 19 appearances. Hughes will probably fall short of his 47-point display over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24 but could surpass the 30-point plateau. He has five goals and 22 points through 48 appearances this campaign.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Two-point effort against Philly

    Hughes scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Flyers.

    The Hughes brothers, Luke and Jack, each had two points on the night, and Luke's tally was a thing of beauty. The 21-year-old blueliner collected an errant pass in his own zone, accelerated down the ice and snapped the puck past Samuel Ersson from the high slot. It was Hughes' first multi-point performance since Dec. 27 and his first power-play point since Dec. 23 as he struggles to make a consistent impact, but he's still flashing the talent that made him the fourth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. On the season, Hughes has four goals and 21 points over 44 appearances.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Back on scoresheet in defeat

    Hughes generated an even-strength assist in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Senators.

    Hughes logged the secondary assist on New Jersey's lone goal scored by Tomas Tatar in this contest. Hughes has gone cold in January -- he has just two assists and a minus-5 rating through nine appearances. The left-shot defenseman is manning the No. 2 power-play unit, but he's registered just two points with man advantage since Nov. 30. Overall, Hughes has provided three goals and 19 points through 40 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: One of each in win

    Hughes found the back of the net on his only shot and added a helper and a plus-2 rating in 18:58 of ice time Friday in a 4-2 win over Carolina.

    Hughes registered a secondary helper in the first period before scoring the game-winning goal at 4:15 of the middle frame. The left-shot blueliner has collected two points in back-to-back games and three of his past four. It's been a fruitful month for Hughes -- he's contributed three goals and 11 points in as many games in December after notching just six helpers through his first 18 appearances of the campaign. Hughes seems to have found his form after missing the first nine games of the season with a shoulder injury. The 21-year-old has accounted for three goals, 17 points, six PIM, 47 shots and a plus-3 rating over 29 contests.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Distributes two power-play assists

    Hughes recorded two power-play assists and two shots on goal in Monday's 5-0 win over the Rangers.

    Hughes has logged a pair of multi-point efforts over his last three games. The 21-year-old defenseman had not put up any power-play points over the previous 10 contests, though he had two goals and six assists in that span. He's settled into a productive role nicely, earning 15 points, 46 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 28 outings in 2024-25.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Two points Thursday

    Hughes produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    The 21-year-old defender spoiled Elvis Merzlikins' shutout bid with just under three minutes left in the third period, then helped set up Timo Meier for the Devils' final tally 85 seconds later. Hughes has gotten onto the scoresheet in three straight games, and over the last 16 contests he's racked up two goals and 12 points with 31 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. After missing the beginning of the season while completing his recovery from shoulder surgery and then managing just one assist over his first 10 appearances of 2024-25, Hughes has quickly made up for lost time and is emerging as a force on the New Jersey blue line.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Reaches 10-assist mark

    Hughes notched an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

    Hughes has a helper in each of the last two contests, and nine of his 11 points this year have come over the last 12 games. The 21-year-old led the Devils with 21:01 of ice time Tuesday, though it was a game where they were never in danger of losing the lead. Hughes has added 36 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 25 appearances, and he remains a decent option in fantasy thanks to his power-play role.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Tallies in Friday's win

    Hughes scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Kraken.

    Hughes was credited with the Devils' first goal, which bounced in off a Kraken player. The goal was his first of the year, and he's been hot lately with six helpers over the previous six contests. The 21-year-old blueliner is up to nine points, 30 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 20 outings overall.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Two helpers against Blueshirts

    Hughes notched two assists in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

    He helped set up what proved to be the game-winner by Dawson Mercer in the first period before feeding his older brother Jack Hughes for another tally in the second. It was the first multi-point performance of the season for Hughes the younger, and the 21-year-old blueliner has found his groove of late, with seven assists in the last nine contests. However, he's still looking for his first goal of 2024-25.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Power-play helper in win

    Hughes posted a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.

    Hughes has two assists over his last four contests. The 21-year-old defenseman continues to be eclipsed by Dougie Hamilton, both at even strength and on the power play. Hughes has just three assists (two on the power play) with 17 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 14 appearances this season. Hughes has talent, but until he can carve out a larger role -- he's averaging just 18:53 of ice time per game -- his fantasy upside is capped.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Secures assist Thursday

    Hughes notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Panthers.

    Hughes set up a Stefan Noesen tally midway through the first period. This was Hughes' second helper in 11 appearances this season, as he's struggled to generate offense after missing time early in the campaign due to a shoulder injury. The 21-year-old blueliner has added 14 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a minus-3 rating while averaging 18:31 of ice time. The Devils' blue line is pretty deep, so Hughes may remain on the third pairing while featuring on the power play.

  • Devils' Luke Hughes: Will play Friday

    Hughes (shoulder) is expected to play versus the Islanders on Friday.

    There was a chance the Devils would hold Hughes out to avoid having him play back-to-back games right after returning from his shoulder injury. The 21-year-old defenseman should see top-four minutes and power-play time after earning an assist with the man advantage in his season debut Thursday, a 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
