New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes is not expected to play Saturday against the Washington Capitals with a non-hockey hand injury.
The 24-year-old suffered a hand injury while at a team dinner Thursday night.
An exact timeline is not known yet, as Hughes is still being evaluated by the Devils on the severity of the injury.
