[ad_1]

New Jersey Devils star forward Jack Hughes is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, the team announced Sunday.

The Devils provided the update on Hughes ahead of their matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks, announcing he would not be in the lineup and had returned to New Jersey.

The 22-year-old was injured in Friday night’s game against the St. Louis Blues. Hughes crashed hard into the boards in the first period and ultimately did not return to the game.

As Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman first reported during Hockey Night in Canada, “Hughes and the Devils and the NHL and fans have avoided a worst-case scenario.”
