Following a disgraceful performance at home against the Pittsburgh Penguins, the New Jersey Devils are making lineup changes. The most notable change is first-overall pick Jack Hughes actually being returned to his natural position of center following an experiment at left wing.
This stint started a few games ago. It was the idea of Coach Alain Nasreddine to give this a try as he felt the 18-year-old phenom was struggling with his position and wanted to give him a shot at something different.
It is no secret that Hughes’ stats are rather underwhelming, especially for a number-one overall pick.
