"Hughes has been injured a lot but it seems to be the same injuries, mainly upper-body and shoulder injuries. As a hockey player, being unable to use his stick is a major issue. With these injuries, Hughes has yet to play a full 82 games going into this seventh NHL season. Most of his injuries have been NHL related, but he has had some odd injuries, including his latest one that saw him slice his hand at a team function. Hughes has played 385 out of a possible 574 games. While he has missed a lot of time he has been productive when he has played, accumulating 151 goals and 220 assists for 371 points."
"The Devils are struggling this season, posting a 16-12-1 record for 33 points and are in seventh place in the Metropolitan Division. Hughes is back to skating but without a stick. One has to wonder how effective he will be when he does return with putting pressure on his hand and stick. The Devils are also without the services of Evgenii Dadonov"
