Filip Gustavsson made 26 saves for the Wild (41-28-6), who have lost three of their past four (1-2-1). Hughes gave the Devils a 1-0 lead at 12:30 of the first period on a wrist shot from the left face-off circle. Vinnie Hinostroza made it 1-1 for the Wild when he deflected a point shot from Jake Middleton in the slot at 2:57 of the third period.

The 21-year-old blueliner opened the scoring midway through the first period before having a hand in a Nico Hischier tally in the third. It was Hughes' sixth multi-point performance in his last 13 appearances -- a stretch in which he's racked up two goals and 15 points, including eight helpers on the power play.

Nico Hischier scored his fourth goal in two games and the New Jersey Devils defeated the visiting Minnesota Wild 3-2 in a shootout Monday night in Newark to sweep the home-and-home set.
