Jack Hughes to Miss Season End Due to Shoulder Surgery

The Devils' star forward's injury marks a significant blow to the team's playoff hopes.

New Jersey Devils All-Star forward Jack Hughes will miss the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury requiring surgery.
Hughes, who has 27 goals and 47 assists this season, was injured in a game against Chicago on Jan. 5 and again on Sunday against Nashville.
The surgery, scheduled for Wednesday, will be performed by Dr. Peter Millett in Vail, Colorado, with Hughes expected to fully recover for next season's training camp.
The Devils, who set a franchise record for points last season, are on the verge of being eliminated from the playoff race this year.
Hughes has accumulated 281 points (114 goals, 167 assists) in 306 career games since being selected first overall by the Devils in the 2019 NHL draft.
