Jack Hughes Exits With Upper-Body Injury
1 year agoNew Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes sustained an upper-body injury in Friday's 4-1 defeat against St. Louis. He exited the game after crashing awkwardly into the boards. Hughes, who is the early-season leader in the NHL in assists (15) and points (20), logged just 3:55 of ice time in the contest. It's been reported it might take a day or two to determine the severity of the issue, and Hughes should be regarded as highly questionable for Sunday's tilt against Chicago. The Devils have already been playing without Nico Hischier (upper body), so the team's center depth will get a major test if Hughes has to miss time.
