Jack Hughes Returns to Devils After Olympic Gold

Jack Hughes returned to the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday, receiving a massive ovation at the Prudential Center after bringing home Olympic gold with Team USA.

The 24-year-old star was joined by teammate Tage Thompson on the ice to celebrate their victory, with New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill presenting Hughes with a state flag before the puck dropped.

Hughes now faces the challenge of helping the Devils fight their way back into playoff contention.
