I think just out of respect to the situation and it doesn’t serve anyone to dig too much into the details of what happened other than to say that from our end, we’re satisfied that it was a freak accident that could have happened to anyone. We talked to the players who were there, the members of the training equipment staff that were there as well. Very unfortunate situation, more bad luck than anything and we’re satisfied with that and we’ll make sure what we can to get Jack better.Jack Hughes Hasn’t Been Able To Play A Full Season In Over Three Years
Hughes has experienced multiple injuries during his NHL career, including one last year that required surgery and kept him out for New Jersey’s final few games of the season and their entire ECQF series against the divisional foe Carolina Hurricanes.
Hughes has not appeared in more than 78 games since 2022-23; he’s been limited to 62 games in each of the last two years.
He was also limited to 61 games in his rookie year, and just 49 games in 2021-22.
