This great opening to the season may come to a halt after Hughes&#8217; big collision into the boards at Enterprise Center. The American youngster sneaked in between two Blues\u2019 defenders and got a shot on goal off as he tripped and crushed into the boards.<\/p>\n<p>The scenes of his injury make it hard to conclude whether it is an injury on his upper-mid section or if it injured his head. The possibility of a concussion is not to be discarded. The Devils lost against the Blues by a score of 4-1 and sit in second place in the Metropolitan division.<\/p>\n<p>This event follows <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2023\/11\/01\/new-jersey-devils-forward-to-miss-upcoming-roadtrip\/\" target=\"_self\">Nico Hischier\u2019s injury<\/a>, and Hughes\u2019 absence, whether short or long-term will be felt.

And despite being visually injured, Hughes played one shift following the collision and afterward headed into the locker room. Hughes was ruled out for the remainder of the game during the game\u2019s first intermission. New Jersey had a day off on Saturday, and that\u2019s why the update came through on Sunday.<\/p>\n<h4>First evaluations<\/h4>\n<p>From the images of the Hughes injury, opinions divided on whether the hit was mainly towards the forward\u2019s shoulder or head. Some reports may indicate a concussion while others point to an injury on the upper body of the Orlando. Fla. native. At this time, discretion is advised and news will come out directly from inside the Devils\u2019 facilities on Hughes\u2019 status.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main photo by: David Kirouac-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack Hughes was injured and left the Devils\u2019 game at St. Louis after crashing into the boards.
