New Jersey Devils announce terrible news on Hughes
The New Jersey Devils receive bad news on Luke Hughes' injury as training camp approaches.
The Devils have announced that defenseman Luke Hughes suffered a shoulder injury during training, sidelining him for the team's training camp, exhibition games, and possibly the first six weeks of the regular season.
Hughes, 21, had a standout rookie season last year, scoring nine goals and 47 points in 82 games. He quickly became the Devils' most reliable defenseman, making this injury a significant setback for the team. After missing the playoffs last season, the Devils made big changes, including hiring coach Sheldon Keefe and acquiring goalie Jacob Markstrom, to make a push for the Stanley Cup. Now, they'll have to manage without Hughes for up to two months, which could impact their early season performance.
