NEW YORK — New Jersey Devils coach Sheldon Keefe has been fined $25,000 for unprofessional conduct toward officials that led to his ejection from his team's game at Vegas on Sunday. Keefe was incensed that no penalty was called when star center Jack Hughes crashed into the boards and left with what looked like a significant injury. Hughes and Jack Eichel of the Golden Knights got tangled up on the play. The Devils hours later announced Hughes will not be able to play the rest of the regular season or in the playoffs after undergoing shoulder surgery.
