NEWARK, N.J. -- New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes returned to the lineup to face the New York Rangers on Saturday night.
The center had missed the last five games with what the Devils called an upper-body injury, saying he was "week to week." New Jersey went 2-3-0 in his absence.
Hughes was injured on a crash into the boards against the St. Louis Blues on Nov. 3, on his fifth shift of the game. He left the team's road trip for care back in New Jersey. Coach Lindy Ruff said at the time that the team was "fortunate" that Hughes wasn't injured worse in the collision.
