If you haven't seen it, Jack Hughes had a violent collision with the boards on Friday night. The star left the game and didn't return.

During the collision, it was his shoulder and/or head that took the hit. It's not a pretty sight.

The reputable insider Elliotte Friedman has just given an update on Hughes' health, and it's encouraging under the circumstances.

"No official update on Jack Hughes, but word is that, thankfully, a worst-case scenario has been avoided. Will miss some time, but not as bad as it could have been."

- Elliotte Friedman

Fortunately, Hughes doesn't appear to be too badly hurt, which is excellent news. We never like to see a player get injured.
