Hughes produced a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
The 25-year-old center helped set up the opening goal of the night by Arseny Gritsyuk early in the first period before adding his own empty-netter late in the third. Hughes has three multi-point performances in the last seven games, and over 10 contests to begin the season he's collected three goals on 37 shots and 11 points in total.
