The New Jersey Devils are expected to be without Luke Hughes for a while after his latest injury.

As has evidently become the custom over the last few seasons, the New Jersey Devils lose, even when they win.

On Monday night, defenseman Luke Hughes suffered what has been reported to be a dislocated shoulder after playing just 9:31 in a 2-1 overtime win over the Rasmus Andersson-less Calgary Flames. If that report is true, Hughes's 2025-26 season is in grave danger, especially considering that this is not his first rodeo with shoulder injuries.
