Jack Hughes and New Jersey Devils 5 Greatest Offensive Seasons Ever
By Nick Villano
3. 2022-23 Jack Hughes: 42 goals, 54 assists, 96 points (so far)
Now, we’re here in the present. Sure, Jack Hughes could have the Devils first 100-point season. Yet, he’s third on this list. Why?
Hughes season was going to be incredibly special, but there was a complete fall in the middle. After his injury in February, Hughes missed a few weeks and then came back without the offensive fervor he had previously. That is how he falls to third on this list.
That’s enough of the negative. This is one of the greatest offensive seasons in franchise history. Hughes might be the most talented player who has ever played in New Jersey. He’s scoring goals in every way possible, and he is setting up his teammates as well as anyone in the league. This is a joy to watch.
Hughes had so many great moments. He recorded 23 points in January, including 13 goals. The Devils are relying on Hughes to drive them offensively. He learned to score at will when the Devils needed it. He was always an amazing playmaker, but adding the scoring to his game pushes him into the top 10 of all players in the league. We’re excited when he eventually takes all Devils offensive records. Amazingly, he was able to do this at just 21 years old.
