Hughes suffered the injury during a game against the Chicago Blackhawks on January 5th. Late in the third period, Hughes was bringing the puck into the Blackhawks zone and after he turns it over, he catches and edge and falls to the ice. He left the game and did not return.
The 22-year-old was having a solid season thus far, putting up 45 points (15 goals, 30 assists) in 32 games for a Devils team that many expected to be better than they have been so far this season.
