Jack Hughes might be a problem this year. Of course, it’s just preseason, but the New Jersey Devils rookie netted a pretty goal on Henrik Lundqvist on Friday night.
The No. 1 overall pick’s early goal put the New York Rangers on their heels. Not to mention, Hughes made a statement against Lundqvist, a Hall of Fame player twice his age.
This was his third goal of the preseason. Sure, this is only preseason, but it’s easy to see that Hughes’ has the “it” factor all superstars have. He clearly has all the tools and could lead the Devils into a new era of success.
