NEWARK, N.J. -- New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes left Sunday's 4-3 loss to the New York Islanders with a lower-body injury and the team had no immediate word on his status.
Hughes, 20, an All-Star for the first time this season, injured his left leg early in the second period when checked along the boards by Islanders forward Oliver Wahlstrom. The two were both zeroing in on the puck in the corner when Wahlstrom's knee connected with Hughes' leg as the latter fell awkwardly to the ice.
