New Jersey Devils: Nico Hischier Season Feels Even More Impressive Now
It was revealed on Thursday that New Jersey Devils first-overall pick Nico Hischier was dealing with a nagging wrist injury all season. That makes his first season all the more impressive.
Nico Hischier was incredible for the New Jersey Devils in his rookie season. The teenager played on the top line for a majority of the season with Taylor Hall and either Kyle Palmieri or Jesper Bratt. He scored 20 goals, and hit 52 points on the season. Preseason, I was hoping he could get to 15 and 35, so he blew my expectations out of the water.
