New Jersey Devils star forward Jack Hughes was on the ice with a stick on Sunday.
This is an encouraging sign that Jack is nearing a return for the NJ Devils who have struggled desperately with him out of the lineup.
After the Chicago Cut incident, the team reported he would be out for 8 weeks. (putting his return at ~January 15th)
I am hoping he is a bit ahead of schedule…
In other news Simon Nemec was put on Injured Reserve today and Nathan Legare was recalled from the Utica Comets of the AHL.
*UPDATE* Brett Pesce was practicing with this team this morning. Hopefully this means he is close to a return! He has been sorely missed.
I discuss all of this and MUCH more in this video.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Maybe jack is staying in shape for that eventual reunion in Minnesota? 😂
Only god can help us at this point, absolute shambles.
As we all already figured out, JFresh is confirming that Futz Fitzed himself on the Quinn deal. I have no idea why signing Kovy was such a priority and buying out Palat last summer was not.
If he wasn’t close to coming back, I can’t see the Devils allowing him to be on the ice. All it would take is for him to fall and screw his hand up again. He must of healed fast or the injury wasn’t as bad as we thought.
LGD!
Welcome back pesce
Never eat in Chicago again
Eh no. Jack just wanted to be on the ice skating with his girlfriend for the Devils Christmas party. Leading up to the this he already cut his other hand off while carving a turkey at another party. With that said he will never return to hockey again.
Ace, that for being as up beat as possible. We all know bro!!
Jack better be playing within a week
This is good. The team should figure out a way to keep Jack as safe as possible on and off ice
Praying Pesce plays tomorrow. Full participant at practice & received stick taps in the team stretch circle! All good signs. Nemec reevaluated in 2 weeks, Grits still being evaluated, Jack "not close" and Dadonov "aways away" all per Keefe post practice. What a roller coaster…
Amanda stein just reported he’s very far from a return so much for that
Don't go to another game until Fitz is fired, vote with your wallets.
no fresh news on Gritz and what really happen ? do you know bro ?
If doctors can go to jail for messing with the physical health of a couple people, Fitz should be allowed to be jailed for messing with the mental, emotional, and psychological health of an entire state.
I say Jack is back in 1 more week. Let's be honest it was his pinky which is completely useless, if it were another finger I'd say at least 3 weeks
Pesce i heard also 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Question and thoughts: When Hughes returns will the team go back to the beginning of the season or will we stay the same and need a trade?
Word is that Mercer may need to be traded to make cap space for players coming off the IR?
Let this be the start of the turnaround. 🤞
Getting Pesce back will be huge for this team. Hopefully he returns Wednesday against Vegas. Pesce has been very missed and our defense has struggled since he got injured. We need him back and he would probably be paired with Luke and Luke needs to be paired with a veteran and I think he was paired with Pesce before he got injured.
Much needed good news, Pesche may return for tomorrows game and possibility of Jack returning soon. What a rough couple of weeks need a big turn around. Doubt Fitz will do anything to help and continue to sit on his hands. Some hope is better than despair I guess. Lets Go Devils!
The NHL should have to report injuries in the same manner as the NFL. I have no clue what happened to Nemec other that he sustained a lower-body injury. Is it his ankle, did he hyper extend his knee? The medical team for this club is not saying much.
I see we just placed Nemo on IR
Ofc when Pesce gets close Nemec goes down….. why is it always like this
They probably wouldnt trade Hamilton until nemo comes back. Nemec has basically been what Hamilton was supposed to be and he doesn't get paid 9 mil.
