New Jersey Devils fans are reeling on Friday night after the shocking news that Jack Hughes is going to miss time with a hand injury. The injury did not happen on the ice, however. Reports say that Hughes got injured at a team dinner in Chicago this week. The Devils just called it a “non-hockey” injury.
If the Devils weren’t in first place in the entire Eastern Conference, this would be considered a season from hell. On top of the most recent Hughes injury, the Devils have had Evgenii Dadonov, Seamus Casey, Brett Pesce, Dougie Hamilton, Zack MacEwen, Cody Glass, Stefan Noesen, (takes a breath) and Johnny Kovacevic on the shelf.
