    As one of the top players from the United States, is New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes projected to make the cut?

    The United States recently announced six players for the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off in February 2025. Those names include Stanley Cup champions Matthew Tkachuk, Jack Eichel, and 69-goal scorer Auston Matthews.

    On the back end, former Norris Trophy winners Adam Fox and Quinn Hughes are in the lineup, with Charlie McAvoy being named the third defender.

    A couple of days ago, NHL.com laid out the rest of the projected roster for the Americans, and they say New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes is joining his brother Quinn in the lineup. 

    If selected, this would be the first time Jack would represent his country in international competition as a professional. He last wore the red, white, and blue at the World Championships in 2019.

    Hughes had three helpers in seven games, which wasn't as productive as his stint as captain of the U18 team that won a Bronze Medal. He had 20 points in seven games, nine goals, and 11 assists at that event.

    Overall, Hughes has 54 points in 35 games representing the United States.
