NJHN Daily: Devils Jack Hughes Perplexed by Rangers Analyst Suggesting ‘Disrespect’

To cap off a solid victory by the New Jersey Devils, Jack Hughes heard a comment that made him chuckle in confusion. The insinuation that a player on a breakaway trying to score a goal as “disrespectful” is certainly an odd take. Hughes’ priceless reaction is below.

In other Devils-related news, Jacob Markstrom shuts up critic (me), turning in his strongest game of the season thus far.

Elsewhere, surprise surge in Pittsburgh, Macklin Celebrini ousting Sidney Crosby, and the worst penalty kill you’ll ever see.

Let’s do that hockey.

Pittsburgh Hockey Now: Did you see the dangle? The way Philip Tomasino took a feed from Evgeni Malkin, made a move as he got to the edge of the slot, then beat an off-balance Boston goaltender Jeremy Swayman for what was the Pittsburgh Penguins’ winning goal Friday in Boston. He might not believe the suddenly surging Pens were not good before he arrived.

San Jose Hockey Now: San Jose Sharks rookie sensation Macklin Celebrini is so good, he’s even beating Sidney Crosby in a significant stat that even he can’t believe.

Colorado Hockey Now: The healing Colorado Avalanche got some good news on Monday. Injured forward Ross Colton could be back in the lineup very soon.

Detroit Red Wings: In a polar opposite development from the Devils, the Detroit Red Wings might have the worst penalty kill in NHL history.
