On Monday, the NHL announced New Jersey Devils captain Nico Hischier has been named the league’s No. 3 Star of the Week for the week ending Feb. 13.
Hischier, 23, has scored 13 goals with 17 assists in 43 games for the Devils this season. He is tied for second on the team (with Jack Hughes) in goals scored behind only Jesper Bratt, and his 17 assists are third on the roster behind Bratt and Damon Severson.
This was, however, arguably the best week of his young career. He posted six points in four games, including five goals.
