Forward Nico Hischier and the New Jersey Devils celebrated the 21-year-old’s birthday on Saturday in style.
The Devils officially announced that Hischier and forward Kyle Palmieri would split assistant captain duties for the remainder of the season. The honor is a well-deserved birthday present and the announcement couldn’t have arrived at a better time.
#NJDevils Nico Hischier and Kyle Palmieri will rotate wearing the ‘A’ for the remainder of the season.
