A milestone for Luke Hughes:
“Jack Hughes is back from shoulder surgery, and he’s been excellent to start the season, ranking ninth in the NHL in offensive rating, according to colleague Dom Luszczyszyn’s model. ‘He’s playing like a top-five guy in the league right now,’ Scout 2 said. ‘He grabs the puck and people get out of their seats.’” [The Athletic ($)]
