It was announced today that Jack Hughes will be out for the remainder of the season, due a shoulder injury.
He will undergo shoulder surgery tomorrow, and as he goes under the needle, with anesthesia the Devils season hopes will as well.
Hughes had missed a significant amount of time due to a shoulder injury, prior and the team refused to take him off the ice to ensure he healed correctly.
It seems likely that he had been suffering through the injury since January, despite this the Devils have pushed him far too hard.
