Devils' Jack Hughes: Not ready to play

Hughes (shoulder) isn't ready to return Thursday against Pittsburgh, according to Erika Wachter Barnes of the NHL Network.

Hughes will miss his fifth consecutive game. He was off to a fantastic start before getting hurt, providing five goals and 20 points through 10 contests. Once he's healthy, Hughes will resume his role on the top line and first power-play unit. His next chance to play will be Saturday versus the Rangers.
