Yesterday afternoon we learned that Jack Hughes had injured his arm. But the peculiarity of this injury was that it was received… at a team dinner.
He suffered a cut to his hand in what was described as a “freak” accident.
The Devils announced this afternoon that their star player has undergone finger surgery… and will be sidelined for the next game. eight weeks. In short, he will miss two months.
The New Jersey Devils have released the following medical information:
New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes has undergone successful finger surgery.
The procedure was performed by Dr. Robert Hotchkiss at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City.

However, the club didn't go into detail about what actually happened… but we do know a little more about where the cut came from.
In fact, during dinner, Hughes accidentally leaned on a glass, which broke.
As a result, he cut his finger.
Everyone said it was a terrible accident that resulted in #NJDevils Jack Hughes hand injury. I was told that he accidentally leaned on the glass and it broke, resulting in the cut that Elliott Friedman mentioned in his report.

Obviously, this is a rather unusual injury. He found a way to cut himself not with a knife (the theory people were talking about last night) but with glass.
And in the end, this unfortunate incident will cost him dearly: Hughes will miss two months of work, meaning he could be out until mid-January.
What's interesting is that after this, the Olympic Games will begin very soon… and the directors of Team USA will have to choose the players who will make up their team. to Hughes is back. So we have to wonder if this could open up a position for Cole Caufield in this group.
In short, a whole story in New Jersey, when the club will be without its star player for several weeks. What a strange accident.

– Tomorrow David Kempf is expected to sign a contract with a new team. Three teams (including the Habs?) are said to be finalists.
Agents JP Barry and David Kampf are going through the selection process and hope to make a decision tomorrow. Several teams submitted requests, but the list was reduced to three clubs.
