The New Jersey Devils faced a worrying wave of injuries during their Game 1 playoff matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes, culminating in a 4-1 loss. Defenseman Brenden Dillon was sidelined after being injured in a collision, while Cody Glass also exited the game, leaving the Devils further depleted. Earlier, Luke Hughes briefly left the ice but returned later. The situation is exacerbated by the absence of key players, including Jack Hughes and Jonas Siegenthaler, due to previous injuries. Coach Sheldon Keefe remains optimistic about Dillon's quick recovery, though the team will need to adapt as they prepare for Game 2 against Carolina.
