T.J. Hughes | Fantasy Outlook

Hughes looks to build on playmaking role as Avalanche visit Senators

T.J. Hughes enters Thursday’s road matchup against the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre carrying quiet momentum. Fresh off a slick primary assist earlier this week, the 25-year-old has generated four assists and 17 shots over his last six games. While currently skating on Colorado’s third forward line with Brock Nelson and Jaden Schwartz at even strength, Hughes maintains elite offensive upside through his assignment on the Avalanche's top power-play unit alongside Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar. Colorado (11–6–2) heads into Ottawa in what projects to be a higher-scoring environment against confirmed Senators starter Linus Ullmark.

Our daily projection pegs Hughes for ~0.5–1.0 point, ~2–3 shots on goal, and around 2.5 fantasy points tonight, with his power-play deployment offering upside for a bonus assist. Looking at the broader week, Colorado has three games on the docket with only a Saturday trip to Montreal remaining after tonight, and our models expect roughly 4.0 fantasy points over that span. His bottom-six five-on-five role caps his floor, but his PP1 exposure gives him legitimate offensive punch. Today’s action: Stream.
