It did not take long for Jack Hughes to make an impact. The New Jersey Devils went down early 1-0, but 12 minutes into the second period, Hughes scored on the power play. The first goal of the Devils season, preseason or not, belongs to Jack Hughes. That would have been a great debut by itself.
He wasn’t done. The Devils weren’t able to hold off the after thought of a Bruins roster, and the game went to overtime after Boston scored with 50 seconds left. Just 41 seconds into the 3 on 3, Hughes put the puck in the net.
