Hey there! I just read about Jack Hughes stepping up on the penalty kill for the Devils, and I have to say, it's exciting to see a young player like him take on that responsibility. His ability to contribute defensively while still being a dynamic offensive player is a game-changer. The fact that he has an xGF% of 85.78% on the kill is just insane!
It's interesting how Sheldon Keefe is utilizing him in this role, especially with some key players out. Hughes might not be the traditional bruiser who blocks shots, but his agility and smart play can really turn the tide during a penalty kill. Plus, the potential for him to create odd-man rushes is something that can catch opponents off guard.
I think this could be a pivotal moment for Hughes' development. If he continues to excel in this role, it could elevate his game to another level and make the Devils even more formidable. What do you think? Do you see him becoming a mainstay on the penalty kill moving forward?
