Luke Hughes had a goal and assist and Simon Nemec had the shootout winner as the New Jersey Devils beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 on Saturday night. Arseny Gritsyuk also scored for the Devils, who have won four of the last five games in overtime or the shootout and remain atop the Metropolitan Division.

Timeline can be quite variable. If just superficial then will be out roughly 1 week to let the wound heal for Hughes If any tendons are cut then will require surgery and 3+ months out like Charles Alexis Legault Unlikely any significant blood vessel or nerve injury https://t.co/necovT9Od5
