NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — The New Jersey Devils have signed defenseman Luke Hughes — the younger brother of star center Jack Hughes — to a three-year, entry-level contract starting this season. General manager Tom Fitzgerald announced the deal on Saturday, a day after Luke Hughes’ Michigan team had its season ended by Quinnipiac in the semifinals of the Frozen Four. Luke Hughes was the fourth overall selection in the 2021 NHL Draft. He has been assigned jersey No. 43 but Devils coach Lindy Ruff says he won’t be in the lineup Saturday night when New Jersey faces the Bruins in Boston.
