Hull bounced back from a mauling by Brentford to beat Millwall 2-1 in front of a sparse crowd of just over 10,000 at the KCOM Stadium.
The Tigers had been beaten 5-1 on Saturday but recovered to take the three Sky Bet Championship points with goals from Jarrod Bowen and Marc Pugh.
Bowen claimed the first goal of the night as he looked to get a faint touch to Markus Henriksen’s shot after eight minutes.
But Marc Pugh restored Hull’s lead three minutes before half-time when he shot low into the goal from around eight yards.
Millwall had to make an early change as Murray Wallace was injured in trying to clear during Hull’s attack for the opening goal and had to be replaced by Steve Morison.
Bowen wanted one too many touches after bringing down Todd Kane’s cross on the half-hour as Hull made the running against a toothless Millwall side.
But the visitors were level in the 34th minute as Hull failed to clear Morison’s low ball from the right and Hutchinson shot into the corner from close range with his side’s first effort on target.
Pugh got Hull back in front after 42 minutes when the midfielder brilliantly controlled Kane’s cross from the right and marked his first start for the club with a low shot which beat Jordan Archer.
David Marshall pulled off a one-handed save after 56 minutes, diving to his left as Ryan Tunnicliffe’s shot in a packed area threatened a second equaliser.
Grosicki’s fine work down the left deserved a better result but his low cross following a mazy run failed to pick out a team-mate.
Grosicki’s next shot hit the post and bounced off Archer for a corner before Bowen shot just off target as Hull looked the more likely to add to the scoring.
