New Jersey Devils' Jack Hughes loses teeth in win over Dallas Stars
New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes was once again on the receiving end of another hard hit that left him with some teeth missing.
In a recent game between the New Jersey Devils and the Dallas Stars, Devils' center Jack Hughes sustained a painful injury when struck by the stick of Stars' forward Justin Hryckowian in the first period. The impact caused Hughes to lose several teeth, which he spat out mid-play. After the incident, the referee was seen picking up a loose tooth from the ice.
Undeterred by his injuries, Hughes returned to the game wearing a protective face shield and ultimately scored the final goal of the night, contributing to the Devils' 5-1 victory over the Stars.
This incident is not the first time Hughes has faced dental difficulties. Prior to his Olympic gold-winning performance in the 2026 Winter Olympics, he had also lost teeth after taking a stick to the mouth. Hughes' determination shone through when he scored the overtime winner against Canada in the men's hockey final, securing a 2-1 victory.
