It took a few days, but the huge worry surrounding Nico Hischier seemed to be valid. The New Jersey Devils released more information about his injury, and he’s going to be out for the foreseeable future with a head injury.
Hischier was hurt in Saturday’s game versus the Washington Capitals when a slap shot by P.K. Subban was deflected into the newly named captain’s face. Head coach Lindy Ruff sounded positive after the injury because it “hit his face shield”, but it turns out Hischier was still injured on the play.
