Devils' Luke Hughes: Two points Thursday
Luke 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 New Jersey 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.
