TORONTO — Injured New Jersey Devils All-Star Jack Hughes is close to returning to their lineup. The team said Hughes left Toronto on Friday night to return to New Jersey in preparation for the second half of the season. Hughes has been out a month with an upper-body injury. He participated in some NHL All-Star Weekend festivities anyway to spend time with brother Quinn of the Vancouver Canucks. Hughes and the Devils sit five points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference after reaching the second round of the playoffs last year.
