NHL Superstar Hurt In Strange Accident at Restaurant In Illinois

For fans of pro sports, the season is an emotional rollercoaster. You never know that's going to happen with your favorite team. One little thing can send them into a winning streak or just as easily into a losing streak.

These professional athletes are so big and strong, they often get injured during a game. Sometimes, these pro-jocks get hurt, and they aren't even playing that day. Something weird happens at home, like tripping over a kid's toys, and all of a sudden, they're out for the season.

That's what recently happened to NHL star Jack Hughes from the New Jersey Devils. The team was in Chicago to take on the Blackhawks. They arrived a day early, so they decided to go out for a nice meal. While at the restaurant, Hughes leaned on a glass and broke it. The thing shattered and injured the star. He'll be out for at least a couple of months.

According to Brobible...

Last week, the Devils got some fairly devastating news after star center Jack Hughes was sidelined with a freak injury he suffered during a team dinner at a steakhouse in Chicago.

The squad headed to the Chicago Cut Steakhouse the night before the contest for a team dinner, and that name ended up being foreboding in hindsight after the Devils announced Jack Hughes had been ruled out for the game after injuring his hand during the meal.

We eventually learned Hughes had hurt his hand after he leaned on a glass that cut him when it shattered, and on Saturday, the Devils announced the man who still leads the team in points is expected to be out for two months after undergoing surgery on the finger that was impacted.
