It’s good news/bad news regarding New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes. More on that later.

The Devils are in Chicago today to take on Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks. They won’t have a morning skate, however, head coach Lindy Ruff will speak at 4 PM. We may or may not get even further clarity on Hughes’ health. That remains to be seen.

Plus, a round table surveying the performances of former Devils, a recall in the wake of all the injuries, and a trip around the league to catch up with the latest news in the NHL.

Let’s do that hockey.
