[Stein] Jack Hughes is out, week-to-week says Lindy Ruff



Bill Spaulding adds, Lindy says he thinks they were actually fortunate on the severity of the injury.

    It could be worse. It might suck but we got the depth to power through. It’s so nice to say that after all of these years of heartache.

    Fuck. Not great. Was optimistic after the “avoiding worst case scenario”.

    I’ll take Lindy’s optimism here since we’re not gonna find out anything more from the team about what the injury is specifically. Good time for some other guys on the team to step up and/or find their games (Mercer, Holtz, etc).

    I remember watching the season Marty went down for half the year and the doom and gloom that surrounded the team, only for the boys to come together and play some great hockey through his absence. Jack being out sucks but his situation is sounding less dire than it could’ve been and there’s some Dawgs on this team that can still make plays in the meantime.

    Get well soon Jack and let’s see the Devils finish this road-trip strong and then try and get the Captain back.

  4. He was out week to week last year and he came back in about 1 week. Hopefully not too long this year too but I’m not getting my hopes up

    Such nebulous language it does nothing for me. Avoided the worst, week to week. Crickets on Nico too. Just gotta hope the boys can keep up the offense without jack and that our goaltending can wake up. Schmid was solid last game

    🙁 this season has been beyond frustrating so far

  7. hotstickywaffle

    We’re about to put our offensive depth to a real test. Mercer has a big opportunity here.

    Have to try to stay in the wildcard race until Jack and Nico are back. Hopefully Nico is much closer than week to week.

    Maintaining consistent winning results with the current squad is not realistic.

    Hopefully, they learn to play team hockey and actually play defense while Jack is out.

    Might be beneficial for the team to learn how to play without him for a bit!

    week to week, so far with our schedule thats been 2 games lol

  12. -PoeticJustice-

    2-4 weeks, so that’ll be rough the longer it drags on. Would definitely bet a concussion, hopefully he progresses well, comes back healthy, and picks up where he left off for the rest of the season.

  13. tECHOknology

    Just spit balling, but may be worst Case scenario was the shoulder being dislocated again and it’s just weakened, sore and loose instead?

  14. sanbaba

    week to week, so maybe more than a concussion. Sucks. …could be worse, i guess, and tbh I wanna see these guys sink or swim a tiny bit. They’re all missing the net by millimeters. I feel like we can do this.

  15. TheNightRain68

    I’m assuming 2-3 weeks. Not terrible. Hoping for a quick and full recovery

  16. RunningM8

    Damn, well it could’ve been worse. But this still really stings. Definitely not a concussion.

  17. mustachiolong

    Week to week but not on LTIR. That’s good news as it shows that this isn’t anticipated to be TOOOO long.

  18. gothenburgpig

    McDavid, Jack, Nico, Shesterkin, Fox all injured. Yikes for the NHL

  19. _irishpapi

    Will always suck losing Jack but Lindy using Fortunate is a positive sign

  20. trektostng

    Anyone else feel this a weird beginning to this nhl season. Not just with the Devils but with other teams too. Canea are doing the best. The Oilers are shocking me with how bad its going for them. All the injuries. The Sharks being way worse than a bottom team even should be lol. I dont know. Its spooky lmao.
