Hughes had a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Hughes is on a four-game, six-point streak (two goals, four assists). He has 35 helpers, 52 points and 168 shots in 45 games, putting him on a 95-point and 306-shot pace. Those totals might not set career marks, but Hughes is cementing his status as one of the NHL's top scorers. However, he still must improve his 38.0 faceoff percentage.

Devils' Jack Hughes: Hands out helper in loss
Rotowire
Hughes notched an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.
Hughes has hit a rough patch -- since his three-point game Dec. 23 versus the Rangers, he's been limited to two assists over five contests. The 23-year-old center is supremely talented, so don't expect this slump to last long. He's at 15 goals, 32 assists, 21 power-play points, 155 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 42 outings overall. Hughes is not on pace to top his career high of 99 points from 2022-23, but that could change if he goes on a big run.

Devils' Jack Hughes: Finds net twice in victory
Rotowire
Hughes recorded two goals, including the game-winner, along with an assist in Monday's 5-0 win over the Rangers.
The 23-year-old got the Devils on the board 4:29 into the first period, and that goal stood as the game-winner since New Jersey goalie Jacob Markstrom turned aside all 12 shots he saw. Hughes added a power-play goal midway through the second period. Hughes has been on a roll in the weeks leading up to the NHL's Christmas break, as he's now had multi-point performances in seven of his last 12 appearances. The Orlando native led New Jersey's forwards in ice time during Monday's comfortable win and should continue to be a focal point when the team resumes play Friday against the Hurricanes.

Rotowire
Hughes scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over Chicago.

Hughes, who turned 23 on May 14, sits on the edge of the NHL's top-10 scorers with 39 points in 33 games heading into Saturday evening. His 113 shots are fourth overall, and his 17 power-play points put him in a tie for third in the league. Hughes is one of the more well-rounded offensive fantasy contributors in the NHL.

Rotowire
Hughes delivered a goal and added two assists in an 8-5 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
Hughes gave the Devils a 1-0 lead on a breakaway at 11:02 of the first period. He flew in at Andrei Vasilevskiy at warp speed and went backhand-forehand before ripping it into the open net. Hughes has eight points (two goals, six assists) in nine games thus far and is slightly off his plus point-per-game pace. It may be as simple as the trip overseas that has affected his game so far. Expect a Hart-quality season from the middle Hughes brother.
