Nico Hischier probably couldn't have asked for a better start to his preseason.
The No. 1 pick of the 2017 NHL Draft scored his second goal in his second exhibition game to help the Devils earn a 4-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Hischier's goal broke a 1-1 tie in the second period. The center positioned himself near the left post and jammed in a puck after a Taylor Hall shot was stopped.
"Each game you get a little more comfortable," Hischier said Thursday morning.
