Hughes has been out since October 19 after sustaining a shoulder injury during a game with the Seattle Kraken. He has played only four periods of hockey thus far this season. The Devils are 7-6-4 without Hughes in the lineup.
Will Hughes play tonight against the San Jose Sharks? We shall wait….
UPDATE: Hughes will play tonight
