Jack Hughes

The 19-year old center has the same name and plays the same position as one of the NHL’s up-and-coming stars in New Jersey Devils centerpiece Jack Hughes. But, he is two years younger than the former number 1 overall pick, and currently plays for Northeastern University. For the Huskies this season, Hughes has 16 points (5 goals, 11 assists) in 31 games played.

The Northeastern University Huskies are set to take on the Providence Friars at 7:00 PM tonight in Boston Massachusetts and will be streamed on the New England Sports Network premium channel, NESN+. The 6-foot, 170-pound center was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft with the 51st overall pick in the draft. The Kings acquired his rights with this pick, but have yet to ink him to an NHL Entry Level Contract.
