Hughes recorded a power-play assist in Monday's 2-1 win over the Canadiens.
Hughes set up Elias Pettersson for the opening tally eight minutes into the game. The 22-year-old Hughes has stumbled a bit lately with just two helpers in the last seven games. The American blueliner is at two goals, 14 assists (seven on the power play), 47 shots on net and a plus-1 rating in 22 contests overall. Hughes has typically not been a steady presence in his own end, but he's actually been decent in that regard this year, although the Canucks' defense as a whole remains poor.
