Devils' Nico Hischier: Tallies early in win
Hischier scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kings.
Hischier hadn't scored since Oct. 16 versus the Panthers, though he had six assists over the seven games between goals. The 26-year-old snapped the slump early Saturday, scoring on a Luke Hughes feed at 1:22 of the first period. Hischier is up to three goals, 11 points, 26 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 12 appearances. He's a lock for top-six minutes as the Devils' best two-way forward, and he should continue to produce at a pace just under a point per game, which is on par with his performance from the last three years.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Three assists against San Jose
Hischier delivered three assists, including two on the power play, in Friday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
Hischier looked dominant as a playmaker while contributing to each of the team's three goals, including two by Dougie Hamilton, and the other one was courtesy of Connor Brown. Hischier has racked up seven assists and nine total points in eight games so far this season.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Two helpers Saturday
Hischier produced two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Oilers.
The 26-year-old center had a hand in a Jesper Bratt tally late in the second period before feeding Dawson Mercer for an empty-netter late in the third. Hischier has built a four-game point streak after being blanked in the Devils' season opener, pocketing two goals and six points over that stretch.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Adds insurance tally
Hischier scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
Hischier was held off the scoresheet in the season opener, but he's up to four points through four contests overall. The 26-year-old has added six shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Hischier's all-around play keeps him in the top six with plenty of ice time in all situations, making him a reliable fantasy contributor.

Devils' Nico Hischier: First goal of season
Hischier had a goal and assist in a 5-3 win over the Lightning on Saturday.
Hischier put the Devils up 3-0 in the first period with his first goal of the season, a wraparound that deflected off the skate of a Tampa defender and past Andrei Vasilevskiy. Hischier set a career high in goals (35) last season, although it came on an inflated 18.7 shooting percentage. His career mark is 13.3. Still, Hischier is one of the league's best two-way pivots, and a 70-point campaign with lots of power-play production is within reach.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Kicks off camp Thursday
Hischier (lower body) participated in Thursday's training camp session, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
Hischier was injured at the 2025 IIHF World Championship but seems no worse for wear as NHL training camps kick off. Despite playing in just 75 regular-season contests last year, the 26-year-old center still managed to set a new career best in goals (35) and power-play points (29). He'll look to once again push for the 40-goal threshold this year while offering top-end fantasy value.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Suffers lower-body injury
Hischier suffered a lower-body injury at the 2025 IIHF World Championship and will miss the remainder of the tournament, Daniel Amoia of The Hockey Writers reports Friday.
The injury should not affect Hischier as far as next season is concerned, as he is expected to return to full health well before training camp. Hischier had 35 goals and 34 assists across 75 regular-season games in 2024-25, leading the Devils in goals while finishing third on the team with 69 points.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Tallies in season-ending loss
Hischier scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 5-4 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 5.
Hischier briefly restored a lead for the Devils with his goal at 7:26 of the second period. This came after the Hurricanes erased the Devils' initial 3-0 lead. Hischier was excellent in the postseason, scoring four times over five games. He added 16 shots on net, 11 hits, seven blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. Injuries caught up to the Devils late in the year, but they should once again be a contender in 2025-26 if everyone is healthy, and Hischier figures to play a large role next season.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Scores again Sunday
Hischier netted an even-strength goal on three shots and levied two hits in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4.
Hischier cut Carolina's lead to 3-1 at 2:45 of the second period, but it wasn't enough as the Devils finished with two goals or fewer for the third time in four games. The 26-year-old Hischier will need to lead the charge on offense in order to avoid his club being eliminated from the playoffs in Game 5 on Tuesday. New Jersey's captain has three goals, 12 shots on net, eight hits, six blocked shots and a minus-1 rating in this first-round series.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Opens scoring Friday
Hischier scored a goal on three shots, went plus-2, added two hits and blocked three shots in Friday's 3-2 double-overtime win over the Hurricanes in Game 3.
Hischier has scored two of the Devils' five goals over three playoff contests. He's added nine shots on net, six hits, six blocked shots and a minus-1 rating from his usual spot on the top line. Hischier will need to remain steady on offense to help the Devils compete in a series where they're the clear underdogs, with this win being a step in the right direction.

Devils' Nico Hischier: Nets goal in Game 1 loss
Hischier scored a goal, put three shots on net, and recorded three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 1.
Hischier lit the lamp for New Jersey's lone goal Sunday late into the second period off a feed from linemate Jesper Bratt. While Hischier posted 69 points in 75 appearances in the regular season, he brought his hot streak offensively into the first game of the postseason as he now has 11 points in his last eight games. With Jack Hughes out for the season with a shoulder injury, Hischier will lead New Jersey's center unit and see plenty of ice time on the team's top line for the postseason.
