Devils star forward Jack Hughes is headed to Milan in February!

On Friday morning, Hughes was named to the 2026 U.S. Olympic Hockey team, which will head to Italy in February. Hughes is one of 21 players on the Olympic roster who represented the United States at last year's 4 Nations Face-Off.

Jack joined fellow Olympic hockey players Laila Edwards and Declan Farmer in making the official Team USA announcement on The Today Show on Friday morning in New York.

The 24-year-old recently returned from a finger injury and has 22 points in 22 games played this season (11g-11a). In 390 regular season games, Hughes has 373 points (152g-221a). Hughes joins a star-studded list of talent that includes older brother Quinn, who was named to the roster earlier last year.

The United States opens its Olympic tournament against Latvia on Feb. 12 at 3:10 p.m. ET (9:10 p.m. local time).

Jack becomes the Devils' sixth player representative at the upcoming Games. Already named to their preliminary rosters, the Devils will also be represented by Nico Hischier, Timo Meier, and Jonas Siegenthaler with Switzerland, Ondrej Palat will represent Czechia, and Simon Nemec has been named to the Slovak roster.
