For the first part of the season, Nico Hischier was kept out of the Devils' lineup by a leg injury sustained in Switzerland back in December. Later on, he was placed on the Covid-related absence list, alongside a lot of other Devils-players.
Now the 22-year-old is available to the NHL-team again and will suit up for his first game of the season tonight against the Buffalo Sabres.
