The 21-year-old Hughes has just three assists in his last eight games -- that's a low enough mark to say he's in a mild slump. The Florida native is up to 23 points, 65 shots and a minus-15 rating in 29 appearances overall.

Hughes posted an assist, four shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Hughes' shot on a first-period power-play was tipped in by Tanner Pearson as the Flames' penalty expired. In the third, Hughes took a tripping minor with the Canucks down a goal, but Brock Boeser tied the game with a shorthanded tally. However, Johnny Gaudreau used the remaining power-play time in overtime to secure the Flames' win, leaving Hughes as somewhat of a scapegoat. The 21-year-old blueliner has maintained a point-per-game pace with two goals and 17 assists through 19 outings, but he also has a minus-14 rating this year. His fantasy value is highest in formats that don't count defensive metrics.

Hughes scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Hughes broke a scoreless tie with his unassisted snipe at 9:27 of the second period. It's just his second goal of the year, but the 21-year-old blueliner has often played provider with 16 assists in 18 games. Hughes also carries a minus-12 rating and he's put 46 shots on goal this season, but fantasy managers may want to focus on his point-per-game pace rather than the lackluster peripheral numbers.

Hughes has 17 points, 42 shots and a minus-13 rating in 16 contests overall.
