Devils Fire Fitzgerald After Playoff Skid | New Jersey Devils News

Hughes Speed and Value Under Fire | New Jersey Devils News

Luke Hughes is the key to the New Jersey Devils’ rebound, despite last season’s criticism after his $9M contract. Though fans expected more, his elite speed—often exceeding 23 mph, even post-shoulder injury—remains a game-changer, especially in clearing the defensive zone. A new analytics study reveals Hughes actually performed like a $10M player, limiting high-danger chances and protecting the net. With a new coaching staff focused on fixing zone exits, Hughes’ best is needed now more than ever. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
