MILAN — Jack Hughes was slamming his stick on the ice during the United States’ power play.   The Devils star had already scored his second goal of the tournament off an aggressive move the period prior, but he was demanding the puck again. It ricocheted off the end boards and right to Hughes, who buried it for a five-goal lead in Team USA’s eventual 6-2 win over Slovakia in the semifinals of the 2026 Olympics on Friday night.
