• Devils' Jack Hughes: On the ice Thursday

  12H ago • By RotoWire

  Hughes (shoulder surgery) is practicing on the top line at the first day of training camp Thursday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. Hughes missed 20 games with shoulder woes in 2023-24, as he was out of action on three separate occasions. Hughes had surgery in April, which allowed him to get ready for the upcoming season. The talented 23-year-old had 27 goals, and 47 assists -- including 31 points on the power play -- in 62 regular-season appearances last season. He could hit the 100-point mark this season, if he remains healthy.

• Devils' Jack Hughes: Undergoing shoulder surgery

  04/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Hughes will have shoulder surgery Wednesday and miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. Hughes and the Devils were running out of time to make the postseason, so the decision for the world-class center to have surgery likely won't have any impact on the team's playoff prospects anyway. Instead, Hughes will get a head start on his recovery for the 2024-25 campaign by missing the last four games of the current season. The 22-year-old Florida native ends the year having racked up 27 goals and 47 helpers, including 31 power-play points. Shane Bowers should see an uptick in opportunities with Hughes on the shelf.
