Hughes’ star power has absolutely been absent in this Stanley Cup Playoff series and it looks like he is a young player who’s still growing.
No missing-persons report needs to be placed at the police station.But Hughes’ star power has absolutely been absent in this Stanley Cup Playoff series in which the Rangers are threatening to boat-race his Devils, who are down 2-0 and reeling entering Saturday night’s Game 3 at the Garden.
Thursday night on Devils home ice at the Prudential Center, Hughes had a front-row seat for a look at how a superstar handles the hottest of spotlights when Rangers veteran winger Patrick Kane — who happens to be an idol of his — took over Game 2 with a spectacular goal and two majestic assists. Jack Hughes skates during the first period of Game 2 of the first round playoff matchup against the Rangers.If the Devils are going to survive this series — or even win a single game for that matter — they’re going to need Hughes to elevate his game, do what his idol did on Thursday night and take the damn game over.Maybe it’s too much to ask too soon, this being his first playoff experience of what certainly will be many more before his career is complete.
He has 10 shots in the two games, and a few of them have been legitimate scoring chances that were stoned by Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin.
