Missing multiple games Hughes (upper body) is back in New Jersey and is week-to-week.

Impact Hughes took an ugly spill into the boards against St. Louis on Friday and will end up missing multiple games as a result. He reportedly avoided major injury, so this may not be a long-term absence. The budding star was off to an unreal start this year with 20 points in 10 games. With Hughes and Nico Hischier (upper body) out, the team will likely lean more heavily on Dawson Mercer and Michael McLeod.

Injury not as bad as feared Hughes is expected to miss Sunday's game versus Chicago, but his upper-body injury isn't as bad as it could have been, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Hughes sustained the injury during Friday's 4-1 loss to St. Louis. He's been off to a tremendous start, scoring five goals and 20 points in 10 contests, and Hughes is the cornerstone of the Devils' offense, so if his absence proves to be short, then that will be a great relief for New Jersey. While he's unavailable, Michael McLeod, who has averaged 13:32 of ice time this season, might be asked to play a bigger role.
