The New Jersey Devils, who have had to deal with their fair share of injuries to begin the season, were greeted with some more tough news on Monday. Winger Miles Wood, who has yet to make his season debut, will undergo surgery and is out indefinitely.
This is a big blow to the Devils’ offense. New Jersey has held its own and done well in the young season, but there’s no denying that Wood’s absence has been glaring.
The Devils will face another tough task without him (and, of course, star center Jack Hughes): taking on the best team in the NHL, the Florida Panthers, on Tuesday.
