Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Out indefinitely

Hamilton underwent surgery for a torn pectoral muscle Friday and will be out indefinitely.

This will be a big blow to the Devils' blue line, though they are able to replace Hamilton with highly regarded prospect, Simon Nemec. Despite a minus-8 rating, Hamilton has five goals and 16 points in 20 games this season. An update on his status should be available once the team has a better idea of his recovery timeline.
