EDGE Analysis

Hughes found Bo Horvat for a goal in the final minute of the third period. While his contribution to the offense didn't change the result of the game, Hughes is up to 25 points through 32 appearances this season.

Hughes has had nearly as good a season as Makar, and both could be finalists for the Calder Trophy at the end of the year.
