Hischier to return vs. Rangers after 24-game absence
by Brandon Maron from on (#5GHF8)
The New Jersey Devils will get Nico Hischier back against the New York Rangers on Tuesday night, the team announced.
Hischier missed the last 24 games with a concussion and broken nose after being struck in the visor by a puck Feb. 27. He underwent surgery in early March to repair a frontal sinus fracture.
The 22-year-old captain also missed time earlier this season due to a leg injury he suffered during the offseason. Hischier has two goals and one assist in five games this campaign.
