3 years agoNew Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier will miss Tuesday's matchup against Boston with a lower-body injury. The Swiss talent had a superb two-goal game against Washington at the weekend, and he drops out of the lineup at a very bad time, as both Pavel Zacha and Yegor Sharangovich were added to the league's COVID-19 protocols on Tuesday. Jack Hughes has hit great form and will now be expected to do even more for the Devils, while Dawson Mercer should find himself back in the top six as well. The 20-year-old rookie has shown plenty of ability and sits among the team's top goal-scorers with nine markers, boasting 19 points in total across 33 games.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
