Jack Hughes had another successful season. He was racking up the points and even improved defensively. Unfortunately, he had to get season-ending shoulder surgery for the second straight year. It seems like Hughes can never avoid injuries and something has to change. Because he is a star player and the New Jersey Devils rely on him a lot.

i think it’s a two part problem. one jack does need to get a bit stronger which i’m sure he’ll do, but another thing i’ve noticed is the devils seem to just allow other teams to bully our stars without fighting back. at least the past couple seasons it seems like at some point our skill players like nico, jack, luke etc. just get targeted and everyone stands around and watches as they get injured and act like they don’t know what to do and it’s frustrating to see other teams out for blood the minute one of their stars are even touched and we just sit around like whelp what can you do?
Funny? Comical? I don't think so.
Get in that weight room!!!!!!
fitz is an idiot
I know it is probably very hard to do BUT, being able to get a BRUTE on each line that would help protect or repulse other teams players from blasting our better forwards like they have been doing. Saw it right in the beginning when that first bad hit on Jack Hugh’s. That was planned plain as day and NOTHING was done by the team or the league. Hockey is a contact sport but more regulation is needed for bad sportsmanship!
Dude is like fancy dishes…great to look at but easy to break
