Luke Hughes

Congrats to Devils prospect Arseniy Gritsyuk, who has been named as one of three finalists for the KHL’s rookie of the year award. Gritsyuk tallied 16 goals and 12 assists this season. [KHL]. Shakir Mukhamadullin made his AHL debut on Saturday in a 4-3 loss for Utica. Mukhamadullin tallied...

The New Jersey Devils had a very bad season. However, there were a lot of young players that showed their stuff this season which should make people very excited about their future. One of those players didn’t even play pro hockey this season. That player is Luke Hughes. He...

The New Jersey Devils have been closely watching the University of Michigan hockey season because they have Luke Hughes dominating on the blue line (and Ethan Edwards, a former fourth-round pick). There was a lot invested into Michigan hockey, which also had three of the other top-five picks in this year’s NHL Draft on the team. Hughes has been more than anyone of us could have hoped. He was a Hobey Baker Award finalist in his freshman season. That’s a rarity, especially for a defenseman.

BOSTON -- Saturday at TD Garden in Boston won’t be the first time a Hughes family member will step onto the ice in the Frozen Four wearing a Michigan sweater. Just months after Quinn Hughes played in the 2018 Frozen Four with the Wolverines, his youngest brother, Luke Hughes, committed when he was 14 years old.

Hughes's record-breaking year earns the freshman several individual accolades and nominations. New Jersey Devils defensive prospect Luke Hughes has had a pretty big week. Not only has his Michigan Wolverines advanced to the Big Ten Championship Game against Minnesota after a 2-1 semi-final win against Notre Dame, Hughes also earned individual accolades in his freshman season.

No. 4 Michigan is one of two teams with two Hobey Baker Award top-10 finalists. Wolverines’ sophomore forward Matty Beniers, the 2021 No. 2 overall draft pick by the Seattle Kraken, and freshman defenseman Luke Hughes, last year’s No. 4 overall selection by the New Jersey Devils, are among the group, which was announced Wednesday.

The Michigan Wolverines were always going to be a powerhouse this season. They are returning three of the top five picks in the NHL Draft. Owen Power (1st overall), Matty Beniers (2nd overall), and Kent Johnson (5th overall) all just finished their freshman season at Michigan when they were selected in the NHL Draft.

It was an amazing weekend for the New Jersey Devils and they didn’t even have a single game. They are currently on their break which means we won’t see them until Thursday. However, some players in the organization lit the weekend on fire. In the Olympics, Arseni Gritsyuk...

If you have not yet heard the name Luke Hughes, well, you have not been paying much attention to college Hockey. Hughes is a defenseman for the University of Michigan and he was also selected by the New Jersey Devils with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.

It has not been your typical 82 game NHL schedule season. We’ve had many stops and starts to the season as the New Jersey Devils are getting back to practice and in a middle of an eight day layoff. Hopefully, good things lie ahead for New Jersey in the next 32 games to finish the season.

DETROIT – During Quinn Hughes’ two seasons at Michigan, head coach Mel Pearson would marvel at his standout defenseman’s skating and playmaking ability on a nightly basis. Hughes, the 2018 No. 7 overall pick by the Vancouver Canucks, finished with 62 points in 69 games with the...

DETROIT — With sophomore defenseman Owen Power playing in the Winter Olympics, a key pillar of the No. 4 Michigan hockey team’s defense disappeared. His missing offensive facilitation and lockdown defense piled extra weight on the Wolverines’ remaining defense. Extra weight that Luke Hughes can carry. Capping...

Even with its top four scorers away at the Winter Olympics, Michigan hockey remains in capable hands. The Wolverines, much to the delight of a sold-out Yost Arena, rolled to a 6-2 victory on Friday over rival Michigan State, which lost for the ninth straight time. ...

As Luke Hughes darted up the ice Saturday against Wisconsin, there was a feeling of inevitability. Throughout the season, the freshman defenseman has been a lightning bolt in transition, shredding through unsettled defenses and getting to the net. In the third period, freshman forward Mackie Samoskevich backhanded a pass to...

The New Jersey Devils thought they were going to be well represented at the Beijing Olympics once the NHL said it agreed to send its players. Nico Hischier would definitely make it with the Swiss, pairing once again with Timo Meier. Tomas Tatar would absolutely make it for Slovakia, as he’s one of the best players to represent that country. Jack Hughes and Dougie Hamilton would have been interesting cases to make U.S.A. and Canada respectively. However, none of those players are allowed on the team anymore.

If you say the name “Hughes” to a modern day hockey fan, fans in the Western Conference will tell you all about Quinn, a member of the Vancouver Canucks, while fans in the Eastern Conference will likely talk about Jack, who plays for the New Jersey Devils. Both brothers are highly skilled with their hands and feet, and both have a knack for creating offense – Quinn from the blue line and Jack from the center position. That bloodline runs a little deeper, though, as the 2021 draft saw Luke join his brother Jack as a member of the Devils after New Jersey made him the fourth overall selection.
