The New Jersey Devils received a gut punch last week when they found out that superstar Jack Hughes suffered a hand injury. It occurred at a team dinner at a Chicago restaurant, where Hughes suffered a freak accident that resulted in glass cutting his hand. After initially being ruled out for just the team's game against the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday, it was announced by the Devils that Hughes underwent finger surgery, which will sideline him for approximately eight weeks.
This was not the news Devils fans wanted to hear. It was a freak accident, so there's no one really to blame.
