New Jersey Devils star forward Jack Hughes hit an impressive milestone Tuesday night against the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena.
In his 325th career NHL game, the 23-year-old earned his 300th career point.
Hughes hit the milestone at the 8:30 mark of the first period. Hughes was on the receiving end of a beautiful pass from Jesper Bratt and beat Florida's goaltender, Spencer Knight, to give the Devils a 1-0 lead.
Hughes is in his sixth season in the NHL after making his professional debut on Oct. 4, 2019. Since then broke multiple single-season records, including the franchise record of 96 points set by Patrik Elias in 2000-01.
The 2019 first-overall pick joined Patrick Kane (369), Auston Matthews (351), Jack Eichel (337), and Matthew Tkachuk (300) as the fifth active U.S.-born player with 300-plus career points before his 24th birthday.
