Hughes does not need surgery on his dislocated left shoulder but is expected to be out until early December. Devils head coach Lindy Ruff said that he is progressing but remains week-to-week, so the Devils will continue to lean heavily on Nico Hischier and Dawson Mercer.















Daws started his 2021-22 season by stopping 25 of 27 shots in a win in his AHL debut. The 2020 third-round selection spent last season in Germany, where he was 4-6-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .897 SV%. There's no indication why Daws was called up because now the Devils have three goalies on the active roster.

Hughes dislocated his left shoulder on Tuesday night but an MRI revealed no further damage, and he does not require surgery at this time. According to the Devils, he has begun physical therapy and will be re-evaluated next week. Hughes was also moved to injured reserve.

Hardman suffered a head laceration in Tuesday's loss to the Islanders and will not play Thursday vs. the Canucks. Head coach Jeremy Colliton said he has not decided who will replace him in the lineup.
