Jack Hughes Won't Suit Up Tuesday
8 months agoNew Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes (upper body) won't be in the lineup Tuesday when the team takes on the hosting Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. The young pivot is dealing with an upper-body injury, and it's unclear if he will miss additional time moving forward. "We'll see how long he's out," interim head coach Travis Green said. "I've already said what I'm going to say about Jack, he's not in tonight." It's been another big season for the American center, as he's tallied 27 goals and 74 points across an injury-shortened 62 games after recording 43 goals and 99 points in 78 games last season. The Devils' playoff hopes are hanging on by a string, as they sit five points back of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference with four teams to leapfrog and just four games remaining.
