Jack Hughes returns to his day job in the NHL after TV tour as the US Olympic hockey hero

Jack Hughes ended a four-game point streak and helped the Devils defeat the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers, 5-1, officials said.

  • On Tuesday night, U.S. Olympic golden goal-scorer Jack Hughes extended his points streak to four games since returning from Milan as the New Jersey Devils beat the Florida Panthers 5-1 in Newark.
  • A little over a week after Milan, Jack Hughes completed a media tour including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon before rejoining the Devils for the season stretch run.
  • Hughes' play set up a goal when his shot went wide and banked right to Dougie Hamilton, Devils defenseman, who scored; Arseny Gritsyuk also scored and Sergei Bobrovsky finished with 28 saves on 31 shots.
  • The Devils' win pushes Florida's standings trouble deeper, with the Panthers 10 points back of the Eastern Conference second wild-card and 21 games left after losing three of four since the Olympics.
  • Hughes and teammates say focus returns to the Devils for the stretch run, and Florida coach Paul Maurice described the oddity of Hughes becoming an opponent amid billboards spotlighting him.
