The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils rivalry was established on October 6, 1982, and it hasn't relented since.
The New York Rangers rivals, the Devils, will have a key piece out of the lineup at the beginning of the NHL season.
Luke Hughes, will miss 6-8 weeks at the start of the season due to a shoulder injury. The 21-year-old injured himself during training in the off-season.
According to the Devils organization, he will not need surgery.
Hughes led the Devils' defense in points, with 47( 9 G, 38 A), and was a finalist for the Calder Trophy as well.
While we hope for Hughes's recovery, the Devils missing a huge piece of the lineup should bode well for the Rangers' regular season match-ups.
They may have to rely upon a call-up or 7th defenseman in order to shore up pairings.
The 21-year-old was drafted in 2021 4th overall and has played 84 NHL games, including two assists in three Stanley Cup Playoff games.
