VANCOUVER — Jack Hughes was selected first overall by the New Jersey Devils in the NHL draft.

The flashy centre put up a record 154 assists and 228 points over two seasons with the under-18 U.S. National Team Development Program.

The Devils had the third-best odds of winning the draft lottery back in April, but jumped two spots for the right to draft Hughes.
