Devils' Jack Hughes: Injured in Vegas
Hughes (undisclosed) was injured in the third period of Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Golden Knights and there was no update on his status after the game, Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site reports.
Hughes crashed into the boards late in the game after an inadvertent collision with Vegas' Jack Eichel. Before departing, Hughes registered two PIM and three shots on goal in 21:54 of ice time. When asked about the 23-year-old postgame, head coach Sheldon Keefe said "There's no update. He's going to have to be evaluated. Obviously it didn't look good. We're gonna have to take our time to know the full extent of it." With Keefe's comments in mind, Hughes is unlikely to be available Tuesday in Dallas, though he should be considered day-to-day until the full scope of his injury is known.
