Nick Suriano established himself as a major contender to be the United States' representative in the 57 kg freestyle weight class in the Olympic Games in Tokyo this summer after he won that weight class in the Henri Deglane Grand Prix Jan. 16 in Nice, France. Suriano, who became Rutgers University's first NCAA wrestling champion in 2019, will be one of several New Jersey wrestlers who will attempt qualify for the games in either the U.S. Olympic Trials or Puerto Rico Trials this spring.
Of the 36 forwards who were taken first overall in the NHL draft from its modern-day inception in 1969 through 2019, only five of them had worse statistical seasons in terms of points per game than Jack Hughes did in his first campaign. On the bright side, three of those guys were Joe Thornton, Vincent Lecavalier and Owen Nolan. So perhaps there was no need for hand-wringing when Hughes put up a paltry seven goals and 21 points in 61 games last season for the New Jersey Devils.
After losing an edge, Brendan Lemieux dove in front of a couple hard-nosed shots coming off the stick of Devils blueliner P.K. Subban.
