Jack Hughes, the star player of the New Jersey Devils, is making remarkable progress in his recovery journey. On Monday, a fan page shared an image of Hughes skating with a stick on the Prudential Center ice, marking a significant milestone in his rehabilitation. This development is particularly encouraging given the nature of his injury.
Hughes, 24, suffered an unfortunate accident at a team dinner in Chicago on November 13th, resulting in a deep cut on his finger. According to sources, he slipped and fell on a broken piece of glass, and the wound required stitches. The team's medical team has been closely monitoring his progress, and the fact that he's now skating with a stick is a positive sign.
Coach Sheldon Keefe shared that Hughes has been skating for about a week and is on schedule with his recovery timeline. However, the player is still not ready to return to the ice without a stick or puck. The Devils have been struggling without their star player, currently outside the playoff picture with a 6-10-0 record since Hughes' injury.
Despite the challenges, Hughes' progress is a ray of hope for the team and its fans. As he continues his rehabilitation, the Devils community eagerly awaits his return to the ice. Stay tuned for more updates on Jack Hughes' journey to recovery and the Devils' future prospects.
