New Jersey Devils C Jack Hughes is considered week-to-week due to an upper-body injury, head coach Lindy Ruff announced Thursday. Hughes played in the first game back from the NHL All-Star break, scoring two goals with an assist in an OT win over the Vancouver Canucks 5-4.
The center missed practice Tuesday for what was called a “maintenance day” by Ruff. On Wednesday, Hughes was on the ice for practice and Ruff said they'd wait and see on his status for Thursday vs. the Seattle Kraken. Well, turns out things are worse than initially thought and now we don't have a timetable for Hughes' return.
