Nico Hischier Scores First Playoff Goal of Career
7 years agoNew Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier scored in the first period of Game 2, recording his first career playoff point. The Devils were able to keep the game close through one period, due to Hischier's goal, but quickly fell behind in the second period and were unable to recover. The rookie center had 52 points in 82 games during the regular season, but surprisingly has not performed as well at home, scoring only 22 points in 41 games. Hischier's lower production at home is important to keep in mind as the series shifts back to New Jersey for the next two games. He will have value as long as Taylor Hall is on his wing, but temper expectations for Hischier.
