Jack Hughes’ future with the New Jersey Devils has been in the headlines recently. With Quinn Hughes approaching NHL free agency, a potential extension with the Minnesota Wild is on the table. However, the Hughes brothers’ futures remain tied to each other, and an NHL insider has provided a big update on the New Jersey forward.

As reported by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman on the Fan Hockey Show, the Devils are not trading Jack Hughes after missing the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs. This report comes after The Athletic reported that Minnesota general manager Bill Guerin attempted to trade for New Jersey defenseman Luke Hughes at the 2026 NHL trade deadline.

The Wild want to keep Quinn Hughes long-term, so trading for one of his brothers is a great way to do that. However, is reelection more likely in New Jersey or Minnesota?

Why is Quinn Hughes more likely to join Jack Hughes in New Jersey?

Jack Hughes is under contract with New Jersey through the 2029–2030 NHL season. Luke Hughes, meanwhile, has a contract that runs until the 2031–32 campaign. So, is it more likely that the two New Jersey players will join Quinn Hughes in Minnesota or vice versa?

Despite what the public says, it is far more likely that Quinn Hughes comes to the Devils than the other way around. With the Wild defenseman entering his contract year, some questions need answers soon. If Quinn Hughes plans to stay with Minnesota, an extension will likely be pursued this summer.

Friedman had previously predicted a three-year contract, in line with Jack Hughes’ contract in New Jersey. Unless Jack Hughes requests a trade, it doesn’t make sense for New Jersey to trade him. After all, if Quinn Hughes wants to play with his brothers, he can sign with the Devils in NHL free agency next year.

It all depends on what Quinn Hughes wants to do moving forward. If a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals is his goal, staying in Minnesota would make the most sense. If playing with his brothers is a bigger desire than signing with New Jersey then that’s the most realistic outcome.

Either way, it’s much easier to imagine the Hughes brothers playing with each other in New Jersey than it is in Minnesota.

On Saturday at UFC Perth, Jack Della Maddalena fell further down the UFC welterweight mountain after a heavy defeat to heavy-hitter Carlos Prates.

The Brazilian used his length and speed to fire powerful, accurate shots through the Australian guards. Outside of a round 1 takedown, Della Maddalena’s grappling was ineffective. Then in round 3, Prates landed some dangerous elbows, before a big leg kick took Della Maddalena down and lost by TKO at 3:17 of the third round.

Although this setback has pushed Dela Maddalena far out of the title picture, she is still a former UFC champion with a strong resume. Therefore, it is certain that he will face a big challenge in his next match. With that in mind, let’s look at four next battle options for JDM.

New UFC welterweight rankings: Carlos Prates defeats JDM in UFC Perth main event

Joaquin Buckley vs. Shawn Brady Winner

Next week, top 10 welterweights Joaquin Buckley and Sean Brady will face off on the main card of UFC 328. Any one of these former titles would be a suitable next fight for the list. A fierce battle between JDM and Buckley has the potential to be Fight of the Year. While a showdown with Brady could show once and for all that the 29-year-old’s victory over elite wrestler Belal Muhammad last year was no fluke.

Kamru Usman

After three consecutive losses, welterweight veteran Kamaru Usman scored an impressive victory against Joaquin Buckley last June. He has been on the sidelines since then as he next looks for a title fight against Islam Makhachev. This does not seem possible.

The future Hall of Famer wants fights that interest him. A fight between the two former champs could certainly bring Usman back into the Octagon in the autumn.

leon edwards

Fellow former 170-pound champion Leon Edwards is in a tough situation. After looking like a future welterweight legend in late 2023, the Englishman has lost three in a row, the last two coming at the hands of Brady and Prates. He desperately needs to win.

Yet his name value will not allow him to keep pace with rivals outside the top 10. This is why the plan could be for both Edwards vs. JDM. Additionally, if the bout was a Fight Night headliner in England, it could be the UFC’s last chance to squeeze any remaining name value out of Edwards.

gabriel bonfim

After a surprise defeat to Nicolas Dalby at the end of 2023, Gabriel Bonfim has caught fire. He has won four in a row, including a victory over division great Stephen Thompson last year. If he can defeat former champion Belal Muhammad in June, he deserves the next top-five caliber opponent, and Jack Della Maddalena could be his huckleberry.

Who won the NASCAR race today? Conor Zillisch won his first Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway, and delivered an iconic moment of his celebration by driving around the track as he got out of the car. This ended a chaotic race in Dega.

After an unexpected incident in Stage 1, “The Big One” came within minutes of the second stage at Degas with a huge crash that took out the likes of Bubba Wallace, Ryan Blaney, William Byron, Joey Logano and Kyle Larson. Additionally, penalties kept Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch and Chase Briscoe from finishing in the top 15.

Let’s look at the NASCAR results from Talladega today. We are starting with 500 results for the entire Jack Link including the total points earned in Dega. Also you can find the results of the Cup Series stage today.

The NASCAR Cup Series is at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend for the Jack Link’s 500. While there was no practice already scheduled for the superspeedway, Cup Series qualifying on Saturday was wiped out due to weather. As a result, NASCAR’s starting lineup for Sunday was determined by the metric.

While there were 41 competitors for Sunday’s race at Talladega, canceled qualifying meant Casey Mears (No. 62 car) would not make it into the 40-driver field. NASCAR’s starting lineup for Talladega was determined by metric scores taking into account recent results.

Who is racing in NASCAR this weekend? The NASCAR entry list for this weekend’s Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway is the most crowded field of drivers all season. There are 41 entrants for the Jack Links 500 on Sunday, meaning no one will make the cut after qualifying on Saturday.

In addition to the 36 full-time drivers competing in Sunday’s NASCAR race, there are five additional competitors. Jesse Love is in the No. 33 car for Richard Childress Racing, Joey Gass is driving the No. 44 car for NY Racing Team, Casey Mears will drive the No. 62 for Beard Motorsports, Chad Fincham is in his own car in Garage 66 and Daniel Dye is getting a chance with Live Fast Motorsports in the No. 78 car.

拉斯維加斯突襲者隊即將進入選秀大會，接球手會議堆積如山——丹澤爾·波士頓、KC·康塞普西翁、撒迦利亞·布蘭奇、特德·赫斯特。總經理 John Spytek 正在做功課。僅此一點就應該告訴二年級外接手傑克·貝奇和小唐特·桑頓，他們需要知道的關於他們進入二年級的情況的一切。

兩名球員都不安全。甚至還差得遠。

Bech是去年從TCU第二輪被選中的。桑頓在第四輪來自田納西州。 2025 年，他們總共完成 30 次接球，推進 359 碼，達陣為零。就上下文而言，這就是合法的二號接球手一場平均比賽的情況。兩個選秀權，一個休賽期的炒作，一年後，突襲者隊對他們能在大樓裡找到的每一位接球手進行選秀前的拜訪。

這並非巧合。這是一條訊息。

傑克 貝奇的論點更有說服力——但仍未被證實

讓我們將兩者分開，因為即使敘述將它們混為一談，它們也處於不同的情況。

貝赫有一個真正的論點，即上個賽季並不是一個公平的樣本。皮特·卡羅爾的工作人員在部署新秀方面的失靈是出了名的，而貝奇是最大的受害者之一。他的進攻搶斷命中率只有 37%。他完成的 20 次接球非常高效，其中 11 次為首攻，而且他的目標成功率為 58.6%，但在這個進攻在所有有意義的類別中排名接近聯盟底部的賽季中，他從未實現過持續的機會。

第二年有一條合法的路。庫比亞克的進攻是為像貝赫這樣的接球手而建立的。他身體強壯，熟悉路線，並且願意在跑動比賽中阻擋。庫柏庫普在選秀結束後對他的比較不僅僅是奉承。庫比亞克去年在西雅圖讓庫普恢復了他看起來已經完成的部分比賽。如果他能用 33 歲的庫普做到這一點，那麼他能用一個 22 歲的具有類似特徵的庫普做什麼呢？

這就是擺在貝赫面前的機會。他知道。問題是他是否接受。

不要 桑頓的處境更加危險

唐特桑頓的處境更難以解釋。整個新秀賽季共完成十次接球。由於預期較低，第四輪的血統提供了一些緩衝，但突襲者隊特別選中他是因為他怪異的 6 英尺 4 英寸的身材和精英的直線速度。這種組合應該會立即轉化為垂直威脅，即使作用有限。事實並非如此。

週日不顯示的速度只是一個綜合數字。

桑頓的身體素質足以在庫比亞克的進攻中發揮出場上擔架的作用。但如果 Spytek 在這次選秀中使用第二天的選秀權來挑選接球手，並且有真正的情報表明他可能會這樣做，那麼桑頓獲得穩定搶斷的道路就會變得越來越窄。一名第二輪接球手的到來將他的深度圖推向了賈倫·內勒、貝奇以及潛在的新援之後。到那時，你談論的是第四名接球手爭奪名單上的位置，而不是正在發展的先發球員。

與 12 個月前桑頓的發展軌跡相比，這已經是一個巨大的下滑。

草案對他們倆有什麼影響

以下是這次談話中沒有人直接說出來的部分：Spytek 下週在匹茲堡所做的事情將告訴我們他對這兩個人的信任程度。

如果突襲者隊直到第三天才引進外接手，那就是投下信任票。它說貝奇和桑頓是真正的球員，內勒是經驗豐富的主播，房間只需要代表和真正的四分衛比賽來發展。 Spytek 在聯合收割機上也說了同樣的話——真正的 X 接收器並不多，如果你夠幸運得到一個，你就可以抓住它們。

如果 Spytek 使用選擇 36 或 67 的接收器，訊息會有所不同。這並不意味著貝奇和桑頓就完事了。但這意味著該組織不會等待他們解決這個問題。

不管怎樣，2026 年將是回答這個問題的一年。庫比亞克是一位真正的進攻教練，擁有真正的體系和真正的四分衛，這在球員的職業生涯中都是第一次。第一年的合理藉口——糟糕的教練、糟糕的四分衛表現、功能失調——都消失了。

貝克和桑頓擁有完成這項工作所需的一切。他們還沒有證明他們可以。

這個賽季情況發生了變化，或者根本沒有變化。

保罗·科特（Paul Cotter）是新泽西魔鬼队在一对一比赛中与守门员在他面前的最佳球员。

在保德信中心主场迎战波士顿棕熊队的比赛中，科特在加时赛中攻入制胜球，这也为杰克·休斯完成了三次助攻的夜晚，他是魔鬼队的新纪录保持者。

首节刚开始四分钟，魔鬼队的防守就陷入沉睡，棕熊队让他们付出了代价。

亨利·约基哈尤 (Henri Jokiharju) 的远射被雅各布·马克斯特罗姆 (Jacob Markstrom) 挡出。然而，冰球被一直站在网前的大卫·帕斯特纳克弹开，他收集了松动的冰球，并将其滑入马克斯特罗姆的五洞之间，棕熊队以 1-0 领先。

棕熊队在整个第一节中继续统治着冰球。棕熊队进球后大约四分钟，布伦登·狄龙和马克·卡斯特利奇在新泽西网前的紧张气氛中放下了手套。每个人都因战斗而获得五分钟的专业。

波士顿队继续向新泽西队施加压力，最终在帕维尔·扎查 (Pavel Zacha) 完成由维克托·阿维德森 (Viktor Arvidsson) 带领的奇人冲球机会后将领先优势扩大一倍，将比分改写为 2-0。

魔鬼队在第二节开局很快，在冰球落下的第一分钟内就进球了。杰克在中立区强行失误，开始向波士顿区进发。这位魔鬼队球星给已经落后于博顿防守的康纳·布朗喂球，让他突破，他在拦网方面得分，将魔鬼队的落后优势缩小到2-1。

杰克的主要助攻创造了魔鬼队的队史纪录，他现在是新泽西队历史上最快拿到 400 分的球员，在 414 场比赛中达到了这一里程碑。

中间的画面仍然是魔鬼队，他们试图消除第一节的不足。新泽西队的顶线继续发挥作用，让棕熊队的防守头疼不已。比赛刚开始八分钟多，杰克就带队冲上冰面，在冰面中央给布朗喂球，布朗随后将冰球传给杰斯珀·布拉特，在右圈获得了一次机会，最终以2-2扳平了比分。

第三节比赛刚开始不到3分钟，魔鬼队就以3-2领先。马克西姆·齐普拉科夫（Maxim Tsyplakov）反手将冰球射入球网，并将球传给保罗·科特（Paul Cotter），后者得分。

然而，帕斯特纳克很快用自己灵活的脚趾拖拽做出了回应，并将冰球滑过马克斯特罗姆，棕熊队前锋假装错位，将比分扳成三分。

魔鬼队和棕熊队互罚一连串的点球，首先是卡斯特利奇对科特的一记重击。乔纳森·科瓦切维奇挺身而出，与棕熊队前锋脱下手套，迫使卡斯特利奇在周一进行第二次战斗。

新泽西队随后犯下了三个小罚球，而波士顿则被吹罚了一个。然而，两支球队都没有利用这一优势。

魔鬼队和棕熊队需要加时赛，惊心动魄的比赛差点进入点球大战。

然而，杰克在中立区接住了一个松动的冰球，并将其推到冰面上，送给了疾驰的科特。在突破后，科特在加时赛中攻入制胜球，巩固了魔鬼队在多场比赛中的第二场胜利。

马克斯特罗姆在 22 次射门中阻挡了 19 个冰球，赢得了本赛季的第 20 场胜利。

Paul Couture is the New Jersey Devils’ best player and they have a goaltender across from them.

Hosting the Boston Bruins at the Prudential Center, Cotter scored the overtime winner, which also capped a three assist night for Jack Hughes, a new record holder for the Devils.

Just four minutes into the first period, the Devils’ defense was caught sleeping and the Bruins made them pay.

Henri Jokiharju’s shot from the point was blocked by Jacob Markstrom. However, the puck bounced off David Pastrnak, who was standing at the net-front the entire time, collected the loose puck, and slid it between Markstrom’s five-hole to give the Bruins a 1–0 lead.

The Bruins dominated the puck throughout the first period. About four minutes after the Bruins’ goal, Brandon Dillon and Mark Kastelic dropped mitts after New Jersey created tension in front of the net. Each got five minutes of majors to fight.

Boston kept the pressure on New Jersey, and eventually doubled their lead when Pavel Zacha finished off a stray chance headed by Viktor Arvidsson to make the game 2–0.

The Devils got off to a fast start in the second period and scored within the first minute of puck drop. Jack forced a turnover on neutral territory and began moving toward the Boston area. The Devils star fed Connor Brown, who was already behind the Boughton defense, provoking him for a breakaway, and he lowered the blocker side to cut the Devils’ deficit to 2–1.

Jack’s primary assist set a Devils franchise record, as he is now the fastest player to reach 400 points for New Jersey, reaching the milestone in 414 games.

The Devils remained all-out in the middle frame as they tried to erase their first period deficit. New Jersey’s top line continued to give the Bruins defense headaches. With just over eight minutes gone in the period, the Jacks made a quick move up the ice, feeding Brown in the middle of the ice, who then passed the puck to Jesper Bratt for a one-time chance in the right circle to tie the game at 2–2.

Just three minutes into the third period the Devils immediately took a 3-2 lead. Maxim Tsyplyakov drove to the net with the puck on his backhand, and fired it into the slot for Paul Cotter who scored.

Still, Pastrnak responded immediately by pulling off a slick toe-up of his own, and slid the puck to Markstrom, who the Bruins forward knocked out of position to restore the tie at three.

There was a barrage of penalties between the Devils and Bruins, starting with Kastelic’s hard hit on Cotter. Bruins forward Johnathan Kovacevic stepped up to drop the gloves, forcing Kastelic to fight for the second time on Monday.

New Jersey then committed three minor penalties, and Boston was whistled for one. Still, neither team took advantage.

The Devils and Bruins needed overtime, and the exciting period almost turned into a shootout.

However, Jack collected a loose puck in the neutral zone and pushed it to Cotter, drawing a streak across the ice. On a breakaway, Cotter scored the overtime winner to solidify the Devils’ second win in as many games.

Markstrom stopped 19 pucks on 22 shots to earn his 20th win of the season.

Certainly, the kind of loss the New Jersey Devils suffered on Thursday isn’t easy to swallow. This is a self-inflicted wound. Perhaps their $6 million goaltender shouldn’t have started his seventh game in a row. Perhaps the defense should have given him better support. And maybe they shouldn’t have waited until the last 10 minutes of the game to make a real push.

However, it all happened, and they ultimately lost to a team that sold their best players by the 2026 NHL trade deadline, and are in the running for worst team in the NHL. Despite the way the Devils’ season has gone, it’s still disappointing.

After the game, Jack Hughes was clearly disappointed. This is the first time we have seen him like this since the Olympic break. That locker room reaction is linked below.

Elsewhere, this summer’s looming free agency, Toronto is set to listen to William Nylander and post-deadline trades.

📺 devil’s rink report: Tom Fitzgerald and the Devils certainly moved away from the strengths that made them so successful in the 2022-23 season. However, it’s not too late to fix it.

After hearing the words of confirmation from Jack Hughes on Wednesday night, New Jersey Devils fans have certainly taken a lot of comfort in the franchise forward’s future with the organization.

Hughes went with Team USA to Milan, Italy with one goal. To win the gold medal. Little did he know that his goal would be to seal the deal. However, Team USA felt the gold was theirs.

“Obviously we had a lot of confidence in that locker room,” Hughes said. There were a lot of people like alphas in a room, you know? It’s the same with Canada, but there are a lot of big dogs in the room, a lot of guys who believe in themselves, and believe in the group. I think for our team, it didn’t matter who got it, we were just so happy that we got it done. And there was so much confidence in that room that we were going to move forward, and we did.”

Hughes scored the golden goal in overtime to upset Canada and win the gold medal for the United States for the first time since 1980.

The party was going on from there. Team USA arrived in Miami, Florida to celebrate and then traveled to the White House, accepting an invitation from United States President Donald Trump.

“Obviously, it’s been some of the best three days of my life,” Hughes said. “I had a lot of fun with that group of guys, and I’m sure everyone on the team is probably wishing it was still going on, but it’s good to get back into my routine and get back to work here.”

After the White House cameo, Hughes headed back to New Jersey for the Devils’ tilt against the Buffalo Sabers when the NHL schedule resumes on Wednesday.

His legs weren’t right yet, but as the game progressed, he started looking better and better.

“He had a lot of short shifts early on and he’s not a short shift guy,” head coach Sheldon Keefe said. “If he’s giving you short shifts, you know he’s not feeling it early. But I felt as the game went on, he was increasing his shifts. He wants to be there and you almost have to take him off. [the ice] Because he wants to bring change.

“All things considered, I thought he gave us a lot.”

The Devils’ usual struggles continued on Wednesday. The scoring problems continued despite shot totals and they lost their first game to the Sabres, 2–1. At this point, New Jersey’s season is almost over.

Combine this with the idea that the Devils failed to add the very available Quinn Hughes – Jack’s older brother and Team USA teammate – earlier this year and many began to worry that the Devils could lose their franchise face at some point.

This extended to Jack’s pre- and post-game speeches. Before and after the game, Hughes expressed his love for New Jersey amid questions about his big moment in Milan, which will forever be etched in USA Hockey history.

“I really love living in New Jersey and playing in New Jersey. For some reason, when I got drafted, obviously I was their first overall pick, and I’m an American kid, but I feel like they’ve accepted me so deeply. I feel like, I’m their guy, you know? I’m their guy. I come to these games, and every time I drive by, I just think about that when I see people walking by. [around the Prudential Center] With a Hughes jersey at 4:30. I’m opening my window and yelling at them. They like it, you know?

“But just to represent New Jersey, to represent our fans, like I’m very proud to be a Devil. I’m very proud to play for the Blitzer family, the Harris family, the Fitzgeralds. These guys, it means a lot to me, so to represent them through all of this… just… New Jersey means a lot to me.”

See, the thing is this. Jack could ask questions about the Olympics and tell it all about himself and how big this moment was to him. Instead, he placed all the blame on Team USA, the United States Hockey Development Program, and the Devils for helping them get to this point.

He didn’t need to profess his love for New Jersey. He didn’t need to talk about ownership, or the highly scrutinized Devils GM.

Still, despite public admissions earlier this year that Jack wanted to play with Quinn in addition to younger brother Luke Hughes, Jack made sure the Devils and their faithful knew he held them close.

He shouldn’t have done this.

So, Jack went to the 2026 Winter Olympics and came back an accomplished man. It’s a moment he and Team USA will never forget. However, Jack made it clear that he has the same ambitions for himself in New Jersey. Except he’s not chasing gold in New Jersey. He is looking for a silver medal in the form of a Stanley Cup.

Maybe…after all, the New Jersey speculation about Quinn isn’t over.

The Olympic break is over and the NHL schedule resumes tonight. Upon their return to the docks the New Jersey Devils will host the Buffalo Sabers in one of eight games. It’s a quick turnaround from the Olympic Games, with Team USA celebrating their victory in Miami and then visiting the White House in Washington, D.C., so will Devils franchise forward Jack Hughes play tonight in Newark?

According to the Devils, Hughes will not participate in Wednesday’s morning skate after returning to New Jersey from the White House late Tuesday night.

However, he would hold a press conference after the game that would detract from the post-game locker room media brawls with the players and head coach Sheldon Keefe.

The Devils expect Hughes to be ready and playing against the Sabers when the puck drops around 7:08 pm ET.

Hughes scored the golden goal for Team USA to lead them past Canada, capping a tremendous tournament for the Devils franchise after facing some criticism before the start of the Olympic Games.

Hughes scored four goals—leading Team USA—and seven points in six games during the tournament.

What started as a trial run on the fourth line after a disappointing 4-nation face-off tournament last season ended with glory as he became America’s hero, helping capture gold for the first time since the 1980 Miracle on Ice.

Now, the focus turns back to New Jersey where the Devils have a 2.4% chance of making the playoffs. The Devils have 25 games remaining on their schedule, and they are 11 points out of a playoff position behind the New York Islanders in the Metropolitan Division and the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference wild card race.

In 36 games for the Devils this season, Hughes scored 12 goals and 37 points despite missing 21 games due to two separate injuries.

Jack Hughes almost didn’t get the chance to become an American hero.

Sitting in the penalty box late in the third period of Sunday’s 1-1 gold-medal game against Canada, the superstar New Jersey Devils forward was more likely to lose the game to the United States than win the game for his country.

“I took my picture on a barstool [Sports] Like America hates that guy because Canada scores on the power play,” Hughes said after the game. “I was saying ‘Oh my God, it’s here.’

“I’m glad we got out of the pickle I got us into.”

Still, when Hughes’ teammates picked him up, he made sure to return the favor by capping a big turnover at both ends of the rink with the game-winning goal at 1:39 of overtime in the United States’ 2–1 overtime win over Canada at the Milan Santagiuliano Arena, sealing the USA’s first gold medal since 1980.

Most Devils fans who were “done” with Jack Hughes before the tournament may need to placate them with a “sorry Jack” chant given the Lindy Ruff treatment during the 2022-23 season, especially if he uses his first Olympics as a springboard for the rest of this season and beyond.

Hughes finished with four goals and seven points and led the Americans in both categories. He tied with Nathan MacKinnon (Canada) and Juraj Slafkowski of Slovakia for the second-most goals among all players.

“I think Jack had a great tournament,” USA coach Mike Sullivan said after the game. “The goals he scored were big-time goals. … I think Jack was at the center of a lot of good things that happened for our team. He’s a high-risk player. He played at his best when the stakes were highest.”

Hughes proved his coach’s point by scripting two elite plays that saved the Americans and allowed himself to cement his legacy in USA Hockey history.

Hughes did not start overtime on the ice, but he left for the Americans’ third shift of the extra session.

His first overtime job? Playing defense against the best player in the world.

That’s Connor McDavid attacking Hughes and the US net with gusto. He took the puck from his linemate and broke free to Canadian star Maclin Celebrini at his own blue line.

“I came right off the bench,” Hughes said, before addressing Sullivan, “You were probably liking it, right Sully?” McDavid is coming at me.

McDavid eats up even elite-level NHL defensemen in this kind of rush every night. He has 96 points in 58 games this season and is averaging 1.5 points per game for his decade-plus in the NHL and was named MVP of the tournament after leading the entire Olympic field with 13 points.

And in this game he’s being defended by a 5-11, 175-pound forward.

“When the best player in the world — maybe ever — comes at you in overtime in the gold-medal game and you’re on the forward, my first thought was ‘I’ve got to gap up,'” Hughes said, “and I was like ‘I can’t gap up, he’ll come right at me.’

Still, Hughes did what he needed to do to slow down McDavid and disrupt any potential scoring opportunities.

“He did a great job,” Sullivan said. “He recognized that he had no opportunity to pay attention to it. He just absorbed it. I think he did a great job defending her.”

“I just dunked and hopefully he couldn’t get around me because there wasn’t enough space between me and the net,” Hughes said. “Honestly that’s what happened.”

Hughes’ second defensive play may be lost compared to McDavid’s body and the golden goal. But his help in getting out of the defensive zone was no less important.

Hughes deflected the puck away from McDavid and took it into the back of the net before hitting the puck past USA defenseman Zach Werenski. But the forechecking McDavid put pressure on Werenski and he delivered a soft backhand pass to Hughes on the way out of the zone.

Still, the dark caper at the blue line – the defenseman’s Connor McDavid – was in sight. Makar was named one of two defenders on the All-Olympic team, along with Jack’s brother Quinn Hughes, as he had six points in six games and Canada’s only goal in the gold medal game.

Werenski was breaking out of the USA defensive zone to make offensive plays. So if Makar intercepts the pass — or even makes a strong tip of it — McDavid is all alone on goalie Connor Hellebuyck and scores the OT winner for the second time in as many best-on-best tournaments.

Nevertheless, it was Hughes who managed to beat Makar and Werenski to create a three-on-one that ultimately led to his goal.

Finding and scoring cool ice

The puck went all the way into the USA offensive zone, where Werenski won the puck battle from Nathan MacKinnon. Dylan Larkin went to back up Werenski, while McDavid defended, and Hughes made a layup to get into prime scoring territory.

With Makar trailing in the game, Werenski found Hughes. Hughes beat Binnington with a snip between the pads, which certainly reminded Devils fans of what has made them one of the NHL’s elite 3-on-3 overtime teams over the past three seasons.

Hughes’ goal would change his life. Still, after scoring possibly the greatest goal in American hockey history, he was more focused on fulfilling a dream and doing the same with his USA Hockey brethren.

“We’re a great team,” Hughes said. “We wanted to go through Canada and beat them, and it could have gone either way tonight, but it’s an incredible win for the Americans.”

《傑克與魔豆》的主要特點是什麼？

這款在線老虎機《傑克與魔豆》以英國童話故事為背景，其符號反映了童話故事中的人物和物品。傑克、雙頭巨人、山羊、斧頭和澆水可以作為高賠率符號，而低賠率符號是豆莖牌面 10、J、Q、K 和 A。

分散符號是一個裝滿紫色寶石的箱子，而百搭符號是帶有老虎機標題、錢袋、母雞和豎琴的紅色圖標。 《傑克與魔豆》的最大特色是捲軸上的行走荒野。有四種類型的百搭符號：三種出現在免費旋轉期間，一種出現在基礎遊戲和免費旋轉中。

基本遊戲百搭可以出現在捲軸上的任何位置，並且每次移動都會重新旋轉。這些行走的百搭符號將繼續向左移動一個捲軸，直到它離開捲軸並使勝利倍增 3 倍。如果捲軸上出現三個或更多分散圖案，則可以觸發免費旋轉。

在免費旋轉期間，寶藏收藏功能會激活，關鍵符號有可能出現在捲軸 5 上。這些鑰匙將解鎖其他狂野功能：堆疊錢袋的三把鑰匙，堆疊金母雞的六把鑰匙，以及擴展金豎琴的九把鑰匙。

Money Bags 百搭將以兩個為一組出現，Golden Hen 百搭以三個為一組出現，而金色豎琴將展開以填滿捲軸。與基礎遊戲百搭一樣，這些百搭變成行走百搭並獎勵重新旋轉，直到它們離開捲軸​​。
