New Jersey Devils fans will keep their eyes on Jack Hughes in the upcoming games
Jack Hughes, the talented forward for the New Jersey Devils, has proven himself to be an NHL superstar. His performance in the 2021-22 season was impressive as he achieved the milestone of scoring 20 goals and amassing 50 points for the first time.
However, there was a sense that there was even more potential to unlock in his game. It became evident in the following season, 2022-23, when Hughes reached new heights by recording 99 points, the highest in a single season in Devils history, and leading the team with 40 goals.
Looking ahead to the upcoming 2023-24 season, Hughes aims to continue building on his success. Consistency across all aspects of the game will be key, and Hughes appears to be on the right path toward achieving that.
