The New Jersey Devils have received disappointing news as Evgenii Dadonov is set to miss the next two games due to a fractured hand. The injury occurred during a practice session, and the team confirmed that it would require time for recovery. Dadonov, who has become a crucial player for the Devils since his acquisition, has been instrumental in their offensive lineup this season.

In his absence, head coach Lindy Ruff will have to adjust the team's strategies as they face off against several key opponents in the upcoming week. With Dadonov sidelined, players like Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier will need to step up and take on a heavier load. The duo has shown great chemistry on the ice, and fans are optimistic about their ability to fill the gap left by Dadonov's injury.

The Devils currently hold a strong position in the playoff race, and every point matters. The coaching staff is keen to ensure that the team remains competitive while managing the health and wellness of their players. They are hopeful that Dadonov's absence will be short-lived, and he can return to the lineup as soon as possible to contribute to the team's success in this crucial part of the season.
