Devils' Nico Hischier: Designated for IR
Nico Hischier (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.Hischier's designation for injured reserve all but confirms he will be unavailable against the Golden Knights on Thursday. Realistically, fantasy managers probably shouldn't be expecting Hischier back until after the 4 Nations Face-Off, though his retroactive placement on IR would technically allow him to be activated for Saturday's clash with Montreal. In a corresponding move, the New Jersey Devils brought Simon Nemec up from the minors to bolster the blue line.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Labeled week-to-week
Head coach Sheldon Keefe said Wednesday that Nico Hischier (upper body) is considered week-to-week.Hischier figures to miss at least the New Jersey Devils' next two games before being re-evaluated by the team, which would make him a decent candidate for injured reserve. At this point, it might make more sense for the team to shut down the 26-year-old center until after the 4 Nations Face-Off. Prior to getting hurt, Hischier was rolling offensively with goals in four of his last six games for a total of five goals and two assists, including five power-play points.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Labeled day-to-day
Head coach Sheldon Keefe said Nico Hischier is day-to-day following the center's early exit from Saturday's game versus the Canadiens.Hischier was hurt in the third period. The 26-year-old scored a goal prior to his exit, and he's up to 24 tallies and 43 points through 51 appearances this season. He's an irreplaceable part of the New Jersey Devils' lineup as the team's strongest two-way center, so a potential absence looms large. If Hischier can't play Monday in Philadelphia, Dawson Mercer could move to center while Kurtis MacDermid would likely enter the lineup in a bottom-six role.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Three points in win
Nico Hischier recorded one power-play goal and two power-play assists in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.Hischier was the most productive player for the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, as he was involved directly in three of the team's five goals to record his second multi-point game over his last four appearances.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Sees red twice in OT loss
Nico Hischier scored twice Thursday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.Hischier has three goals in his last two games and 22 in 47 games. But he has just four points including those three snipes, in his last nine games. Hischier isn't likely to hit the point-per-game plateau this season for the second time in his career, but a 65-point year is possible. Then it's decision time for fantasy managers -- is he a 60-67 point guy after delivering in that range three times in his last four seasons. Or is Hischier the point-per-game pivot he was in 2022-23 (80 points, 81 games). We're watching that carefully, because that's a huge difference in fantasy value.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Scores goal vs. Florida
Nico Hischier scored a goal in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Panthers.Hischier has cracked the scoresheet in three of his last five appearances, but the 26-year-old hasn't exactly set the world on fire with his numbers in recent weeks.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Power-play goal not enough

Overall, the Devils haven't been sharp on their current road trip, losing four straight heading into Seattle on Monday. Take a breath -- Hischier will help get them back on track.

Nico Hischier netted his team-leading 18th goal of the season in Friday's 4-2 win over Carolina.Hischier converted a two-on-one rush chance after being set up by Stefan Noesen late in the opening frame. Hischier is riding a three-game point streak consisting of two goals and three assists, and he's registered at least one point in five of his past six games.
