Nico Hischier can take a deep breath. After having the best game of his early career accounting for two assists on Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Nico rebounded with two goals (the first two of his career) and an assist in an overtime thriller win for the New Jersey Devils.
If you have been watching the first couple weeks of Devils hockey, you knew the goals were bound to start piling up. Hischier was generated shot after shot. Although Nico always speaks in a “team first” fashion, it has to be a giant relief to get the first goal of his career.
