New Jersey Devils star forward Jack Hughes is "week to week" with an upper body injury, the team announced on Sunday.
Hughes left the team's road trip and has returned to New Jersey to be with the Devils' athletic care staff. The Devils face the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night.
Hughes was injured in the Devils' 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Friday. He awkwardly crashed into the boards at 11:35 of the first period, on his fifth shift of the game, after being slightly hooked by Blues defenseman Torey Krug.
New Jersey coach Lindy Ruff said the team is "fortunate" that Hughes wasn't injured worse in the collision.
