The Devils were in the market for a center at this year’s trade deadline, and now they may need two. While they are 33-23-6, they are spiraling toward a disastrous season — with a 9-12-3 record over their last 23 games ... and now, possibly missing star center Jack Hughes for a significant period of time.

The New Jersey Devils were awaiting test results Monday after star forward Jack Hughes left the ice Sunday night with an apparent arm or shoulder injury. Hughes crashed hard into the boards behind the Vegas net after a collision with Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel late in the third period of the Nets' 2-0 loss in Las Vegas.

Devils leading scorer Jack Hughes went down with what appeared to be a serious injury with 1:48 left in New Jersey’s 2-0 loss Sunday night to the Vegas Golden Knights.
