Nico Hischier Labeled As Week-To-Week With Injury
1 day agoAccording to head coach Sheldon Keefe, New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (upper body) is considered week-to-week. Keefe noted that the team will check in on his status at the end of the week. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Hischier to miss at least their game against the Flyers on Wednesday and their contest against the Sabres on Sunday. The captain sustained this injury during their contest against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday evening. Over his last seven games, Hischier saw his offensive production improve as he tallied seven points (five goals, two helpers) while averaging three shots on goal per game. Overall, Hischier has found the back of the net 24 times and added 19 assists across 51 games. While sidelined, Dawson Mercer will likely continue to take over the No.2 center role.
