ImpactHughes also ended up with a plus-1 and six shots on goal. Two of his helpers came on the power play, too, where he is so very good. However, he did struggle in the faceoff circle, going just 5-for-17, or 29.4%, which is an area he needs to be much better. The Devils are back at it Monday against the Florida Panthers.

Sean Durzi - Notched power-play goal in debutDurzi potted a power-play goal in Friday's 4-3 shootout victory against the Devils.

ImpactDurzi was a busy beaver in his team debut, leading the Arizona rearguards with three shots on goal, while also taking a minor penalty in his 23:26 of ice time. He has already equaled his power-play goal total of a season ago with the Los Angeles Kings. The 24-year-old should have a lot more responsibilities along the Arizona blue line than he did in L.A.
