The new age of the New Jersey Devils starts and ends with Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes. Those are the two centers that this team is going to try to build around for the next decade or longer. They are both players with extremely high ceilings that help impact play in vastly different ways. They led the Devils to a big win in Canada’s capital as they defeated the Ottawa Senators in overtime. It was an impressive win because the guys you want leading them led them.
Nico Hischier got things going for New Jersey when he deflected him Sami Vatanen‘s point shot on the power-play goal.
