Dougie Hamilton Leaves Game Early Tuesday, Undergoing Evaluation
9 months agoNew Jersey Devils defenseman Dougie Hamilton (upper body) left Tuesday's game against the New York Islanders after the second period and did not return. Head Coach Lindy Ruff didn't say whether or not Hamilton would be available Thursday as he is still being evaluated. The 30-year-old has put up 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 20 games this season as part of the Devils first pairing and second powerplay unit. That production will be hard to replace from the back end and no one on the Devils blueline looks like the clear frontrunner to take over Hamilton's duties if he does miss time.
