It is the end of Jack Hughes this season. The New Jersey Devils have announced that star forward Hughes, who suffered an injury to his left knee during Sunday’s game against the New York Islanders.
This is the Devils’ statement:
“Following imaging and evaluation of Jack’s injury by the Devils medical staff and head orthopedic surgeon/Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jonathan L. Glashow, it was determined that Jack suffered a low grade MCL sprain of his left knee.
Given the timing, he will be held out of game action for the rest of the season. Jack will begin his motion rehab and conditioning immediately.”
Hughes finishes the year with 56 points in 49 games - truly breaking out and showing why he was selected first overall.
We hope his recovery goes well and he can get back to his success next season.
