Jack and Luke Hughes, a rookie who made his debut last week, and their Devils are getting ready to take on the Rangers in the playoffs.
Q: Jack, what is it like having your kid brother with you for your first playoff game?It’s obviously really cool, you know? It’s something we were looking forward to for a few years now since he got drafted, but probably where I expected him to be in the spot we’re in … just really excited to be able to make this push with him here. It’s exciting, and we’re happy for Luke. I can’t speak for him, but from what I can see, it seems like he’s really happy to be in New Jersey.
We’ll be crazy ramped-up, we’ll be really fired up. I know our team will be ready to go. It’s our favorite games as Devils playing the Rangers, it’s a pretty crazy rivalry. It sucks how it’s worked out the last couple of years with both of us continuing to get better, and on a collision course. I know our team will be really ramped up and we’ll be really excited to go and I’m sure they will to.Our rinks are under 30 minutes apart from each other.
Jack Hughes said it’ll be “really cool” to have Luke at his side as they make their NHL playoff debuts.He’s super skilled, super fast, he can really think the game. … He’s a passing threat, but he can also score. He’s kind of a dual threat.He skates like a Hughes. He’s got that skill. Can really think the game, and yet he’s 6-2 ¹/₂, 6-3. Like he’s a beast. He’s super rangy, can defend really well.
Timo Meier joined Jack Hughes when the Devils acquired him from the Sharks ahead of the trade deadline.He’s a great player, I love playing with him. Really good skater, really skilled, really smart, can score, can thread the needle. We got Mercer, we got obviously Nico … We got a really good forward group, and we’re excited and we’re ready to go.Proud of him this year. We’ve had shaky goaltending in the past, so we’re proud of him. I guess we didn’t know what to expect.
