Jack Hughes Leads Devils To Victory On Thursday
4 years agoNew Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes registered a goal and added an assist on Thursday night, playing a critical role in his team's 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 19-year-old also finished the night with a plus-one rating, two shots and three takeaways while leading all Devils forwards in ice time (19:51). Thursday's performance should go a long way toward Hughes' confidence as the skilled American had posted just one point over his past seven games entering the contest. While Hughes has been slumping as of late, he's still taken a step forward in his sophomore NHL season with 16 points (seven goals, nine assists), 62 shots and 11 hits through 27 games. He'll look to build some momentum when he faces the Pens again on Saturday.
