Add to Hughton's problems, he had the absence of key trio Fabricio Coloccini, Mike Williamson and Joey Barton through suspension, but he was quick to back the players coming into the team as replacements.
Sol Campbell maked his first league start for the club and Steven Taylor made his first league start since January.
Andy Carroll had given the Magpies a sixth-minute lead when he capitalised on an error by Alex, and Salomon Kalou fired home the equaliser in first-half injury time to prevent Chelsea slipping to a third successive league defeat for the first time in 11 years.
At the end of the day both sides probably deserved their point.
Alex and keeper Petr Cech, who had already clawed away a second-minute Taylor header, were on entirely different wavelengths as the Brazillian was put under pressure by the Toon number nine.
He turned to play the ball back to his goalkeeper, who was speeding towards him like an express train. Rather than risk playing the ball towards goal in fear of scoring an own-goal should Cech miss it, he tapped the ball to the side of the Chelsea goalkeeper ... right past him!
Carroll left Cech standing for pace and the England striker stroked the ball into an empty net.
The Magpies could hardly believe their luck, but as they snapped into tackles with midfielder Cheik Tiote in the thick of it following his return from suspension, they made life distinctly uncomfortable for the visitors.
However, Chelsea warmed to their task as the half wore on to dominate possession, and although the home defence were proving stubborn, they gradually started to get on top.
Skipper Didier Drogba forced a fine reaction save from Tim Krul at the near post with a blistering 19th-minute drive, and full-back Jose Enrique had to clear an Alex header off the line seven minutes later.
As the Blues threw men forward, the Magpies threatened on the break with wide men Jonas Gutierrez and Wayne Routledge, in for injured captain Kevin Nolan, prospering sporadically, although the bulk of the traffic was in the opposite direction.
Carlo Ancelotti's men flexed their muscles as the half-time whistle approached, and were convinced they should have had a 43rd-minute penalty for Tiote's clumsy challenge on Ashley Cole as he burst into the area.
They got their reward in injury time when Kalou carved his way into the penalty area and fired into the bottom corner with the help of a deflection of Taylor's out-stretched leg.
Chelsea returned in determined mood and might have increased their lead with 56 minutes gone when Drogba expertly controlled a long ball and fired in a firm left-foot shot on the turn which Tim Krul got down well to save.
But it was the home side who went close six minutes later when Cech failed to deal with a towering cross and only succeeded in serving the ball up to Wayne Routledge on the edge of the box.
The winger controlled neatly before blasting a volley towards goal, where Cole was perfectly positioned to head off the line.
Chelsea threw everything they had at their hosts as time ran down and Drogba had a 77th-minute strike chalked off for handball, but Kalou could have won it three minutes later when Taylor, Campbell and Krul between them allowed the ball to fall to him beyond the far post, but he fired into the side-netting.
Substitute Daniel Sturridge shot wastefully across the face of goal with four minutes remaining as the champions launched a late onslaught, but Newcastle were not about to surrender a hard-earned point.
