The New Jersey Devils have seen a complete turnaround in Nico Hischier's game since Jack Hughes went down with an injury. If he can replicate these offensive numbers when he returns, this team can beat any other in the NHL.
The New Jersey Devils are in first place in the Metropolitan Division. It feels like a miracle that this is the truth with all the adversity they’ve faced this season. Despite injuries to Jack Hughes, Stefan Noesen, Cody Glass (twice), Evgenii Dadonov (twice), Zack MacEwen (twice), Dougie Hamilton, Jacob Markstrom, Johnny Kovacevic, and Brett Pesce (somehow, among others), they keep winning games.
