According to Devils blogger Todd Cordell, since Taylor Hall was scratched, then traded, Hughes has generated more scoring chances than anyone else on the team. ♦ The Oilers line of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Zack Kassian remains the NHL’s top scoring unit at 5-on-5 with 28 even-strength goals. His linemates, Jon Huberdeau and Vincent Trocheck, meanwhile, combined for 11 shots on goal that game. The Kings are desperate offence and maybe they’ll give him more of a chance than the Red Wings or Hurricanes did.
