[Devils] Luke suffered a left shoulder injury earlier this month during off-season training. Upon examination by NJ’s medical staff, it was determined that he won’t require surgery. Recovery time is approx 6-8 weeks. He is in NJ for treatment and physical therapy.

    someone please protect the Hughes’s shoulders

  2. Sucks he won’t be around on opening night. Beyond that, it is concerning due to how important it is that we start the season off getting ahead so that we’re not constantly trying to play catch-up later on.

    But, the silver lining is it sounds like he’ll only miss about 2-4 weeks of the actual season. Could have been much worse.

    A+ sleuthing to the person who posted that pic of him in the sling 

  4. hypernova13

    It’s officially the start of our season today. A devil has been injured

  5. Knew this shit the second they were on the cover..

  6. TeamCrimsonRed

    Welcome Kovacevic to the opening night roster…

  7. Lmao so they wouldnt have said shit for a while had he not been spotted at the Michigan game? Totally tracks, remember how they totally hid that Nico injury, among others?

    That said, not really concerned. This team has D Depth now. Hatakka is hungry for a spot, so now he gets a chance to get some NHL games where I just didnt see it happening with everyone healthy.

    PS: There is no EA curse, especially if you look how the players did during their cover years.

    Last season:
    Neutral transfer season, blessed preseason, cursed season.

    This season:
    Good transfer season, cursed preseason, ????.

    So maybe like end of October Luke will get to make his season debut then based on that time line.

  10. Clearly they needed to say something after that picture of him was made public

  11. atoms12123

    Jim and Ellen should have put more skill points into shoulders.

  12. Does Quinn have a glass shoulder too or is just our Hugheses?

  13. 420yoloswagepicjesus

    Casey would have to have an incredible camp to make the roster. The devils actually have some defensive depth.

  14. its_jreis

    Hopefully this is just Luke diving on the EA Sports curse hand grenade to save his brothers.

  15. mustachiolong

    Dougie, Siegs, Pesce, and Dillon are a good enough 4/6 to last until Nemec and Luke are 100%. We have enough depth with everyone else to fill the last 2 spots. Fitzy played it real smart this off season.

  16. TheNightRain68

    Well that sucks but thankfully we added a bunch of D depth to this team for this exact scenario. From the sounds of it he’s at worst going to be out until late October

  17. Blast this medical and conditioning staff into the abyss.

  18. LaHondaSkyline

    This has a very strong Yoenis Cespedes vibe to it…

  19. thedirewolff21

    Obviously sucks but we have the depth to survive i just hope Nemo is also ok. Imagine Casey forces himself on the team in camp. Unlikely but at least there is good comp.

  20. Harrisonmonopoly

    Atleast they announced something. That’s different.

  21. ElephantRedCar91

    God damn it the season hasn’t even started yet and a Hughes brother is already injured… what the fuck?!

  22. Let’s get all our injuries done before the season starts.

  23. Fatherless___Child

    The Hughes brothers vs Their shoulders at Wrestlemania.

    Book it

  24. JonnoKabonno

    Alright Devils, now we know we’re starting the season short one of our regulars, don’t you dare make it short two – sign MERCER
