She expressed confidence in Hughes&#8217; return:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Sure looks like Jack Hughes will be back tonight for #NJDevils\u2026! Based on line rushes anyways!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The young superstar, who has been a pivotal force for the Devils this season, will find himself back in action alongside Tyler Toffoli and Alexander Holtz in even-strength situations. Hughes has been a standout player, accumulating an impressive 15 goals and 45 points in just 32 games this season.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Stein also shed light on the potential line combinations during the morning skate, providing fans with a glimpse of what to expect. Hughes is expected to share the ice with Toffoli and Holtz.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his even-strength responsibilities, Jack Hughes will also reclaim his spot on the first power-play unit.

However, Marino&#8217;s late heroics secured the win for the Devils.<\/p>\n<p>Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We were chasing the game a little bit. It was a slapshot right in the middle of the hash marks that cost us.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Devils coach Lindy Ruff praised his team&#8217;s performance:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I thought we played a heck of a game.
