Nick Bjugstad Expected To Miss 4-6 Months After Pectoral Surgery

Former Utah Mammoth forward Nick Bjugstad is expected to miss four to six months after undergoing surgery last week to repair a torn left pectoral muscle, the New Jersey Devils announced. Bjugstad sustained the injury during the offseason, derailing his first season with New Jersey before it began. The 33-year-old veteran joined the Devils at the trade deadline last season after appearing in 66 games for Utah during the 2024-25 campaign, recording 19 points.
