Star center Jack Hughes is out with a non-hockey, hand injury, the Devils announced Friday. According to a report from ESPN’s Emily Kaplan, the injury occurred at a team dinner Thursday in what was described as a “freak accident.”
New Jersey plays the Capitals on the road Saturday and Kaplan’s report noted Hughes left the road trip to return home further evaluation, as he’s expected to miss the game against Washington. Further updates on his status moving forward should be provided once he’s evaluated further.
