New Jersey Devils captain Nico Hischier is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, head coach Sheldon Keefe announced Wednesday.
Hischier was injured after taking a cross check up high by Montreal captain Nick Suzuki during the second period of the Devils’ 4-3 overtime win against the host Canadiens on Saturday night. The forward returned to the ice for one shift in the third before retreating to the locker room.
Hischier sat out New Jersey’s 4-2 loss to the host Philadelphia Flyers on Monday. The teams meet again on Wednesday, this time in Newark, N.J.
“It’s something I think they’ll evaluate again next week and then take it from there,” Keefe said Wednesday. “But he won’t be available this week for sure.”
Hischier, 26, leads the team in goals (24) to go along with 19 assists in 51 games this season. He is second among forwards with an average ice time of 20:21.
He has recorded 396 points (160 goals, 236 assists) in 503 career games since being selected by the Devils with the first overall pick of the 2017 NHL Draft.
