The New Jersey Devils shut down defenseman Luke Hughes for a procedure that marks a significant step in his recovery. Fans will discover the implications of this decision for both Hughes and the team moving forward. Hughes, sidelined after a hit from Calgary's Justin Kirkland, previously opted for rehab over surgery in January. He returned to play a month later, finishing his season with six goals and 35 points across 68 games. At just 22, Hughes secured a seven-year, $63 million contract extension before this season, highlighting his importance to the franchise. With the Devils now out of playoff contention, this procedure could affect their future plans.
