Great honor for Nico Hischier (22 years old). He was named captain of the New Jersey Devils. The Valaisan succeeds Andy Greene who left for the New York Islanders last February.
Hischier is the second Swiss player to wear the C on his current NHL jersey with Roman Josi at the Nashville Predators. Mark Streit had also known this honor with the New York Islanders.
Another good news for the Valaisan, he is now fit to make his comeback. He had not yet been able to play this season due to a leg injury and a Covid-19 infection.
No.1 in the 2017 draft, Hischier has 214 NHL appearances for the Devils with 52 goals and 84 assists. In October 2019, he signed a seven-year contract with the New Jersey Devils for $ 50.75 million.
