The latest update is that there isn&#8217;t much of an update, as Keefe mentioned that Hughes was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/amandacstein\/status\/2017284171824021556\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">still being evaluated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only update is that he\u2019s still getting evaluated. In the next little bit, he\u2019s going to get some imaging and get a better idea of what\u2019s happening. Until we have those results, we won\u2019t know his status in terms of travel and the situation going forward,\u201d Keefe said.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t seem like there is much worry about Hughes being out for an extended time, but with the Olympics coming up real soon, it&#8217;s something to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n<p>If Keefe does have to miss time, the Devils may be without two of their key players for their next game, as center Cody Glass is still working his way back from injury. <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/nhl\/new-jersey-devils\/devils-news-sheldon-keefe-provides-cody-glass-injury-update\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Glass suffered a lower-body injury<\/a> after being hit by a shot against the Winnipeg Jets a few days ago. He ended up missing the game against the Predators, but is expected to be with the team when they face the Ottawa Senators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCody had a better day today when he skated, which is positive,\u201d Keefe said. \u201cHe\u2019s going to travel with us. If he continues to progress then he could be available for tomorrow but we won\u2019t know until that time comes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New Jersey Devils were able to get a win in their last game against the Nashville Predators,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":380300,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5109],"tags":[201,5,1272,576,151,5185,5184,4,7901],"class_list":{"0":"post-437095","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-jersey-devils","8":"tag-devils","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-jack-hughes","11":"tag-new-jersey","12":"tag-new-jersey-devils","13":"tag-newjersey","14":"tag-newjerseydevils","15":"tag-nhl","16":"tag-nhl-injury"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115986499270244600","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
