The New Jersey Devils faced a worrying moment as their star player, Jack Hughes, exited the game with an apparent upper-body injury.
In the first period of the game against the Blues, Jack Hughes, the first overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, collided with the boards and was left sprawled on the ice in pain.
After briefly returning for another shift, Hughes eventually headed down the tunnel, raising concerns among Devils fans.
Jack Hughes currently leads the NHL in points with five goals and 20 points in 9 games this season. His absence would be significant for the Devils, who are already missing Nico Hischier, their 2017 first overall pick.
