Hughes' recent surge continued with his fifth multi-point effort in the last seven games. He's earned four goals and 11 helpers in that span. For the season, he's at a point-per-game pace with 10 goals and 43 points over 43 appearances.

He was able to recover from core-muscle surgery prior to the start of the campaign, but he is shooting just 7.3 percent compared to no less than 11.9 percent over the previous three years. He's still on pace to top the 50-point mark for a fourth straight season, but Hughes is unlikely to be a candidate for a call-up to Dallas.
