Hughes notched two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.
After missing the prior four games due to an undisclosed issue, Hughes was right back in form in his return, producing his sixth multi-point performance in 13 appearances since the beginning of December. The All-Star blueliner has eight goals and 44 points through 35 contests this season, with 17 of those points (one goal and 16 helpers) coming on the power play.
