Hughes put up a strong line, but this performance reflects the level he already plays at rather than a new development. His recent averages include 0.48 goals and 0.78 assists per game, with 3.9 shots per night. He plays 21:14 a game overall and runs 2:52 of power-play time per night on the Devils' first unit, ranking third among all New Jersey skaters in power-play minutes.

The underlying numbers support his scoring. His process grade of 97 out of 100 among forwards measures the volume and quality of his chances, the ice time he sees and how often he shoots. The Devils play four more times this week, with games on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Hughes remains a fixture in all formats.

• Keep Jack Hughes in your lineup for all four of New Jersey's remaining games this week.

• His elite process grade confirms that his 1.26 points per game is sustainable.
