4 years agoNew Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (face) will miss a third straight game on Thursday versus the Rangers and is listed week-to-week with a sinus fracture. The Swiss forward was hit in the face by a puck in a 5-2 loss to Washington last weekend and hasn't played since. He had just started to pick up form with goals in back-to-back games and three total points. Hischier, who is also currently in the concussion protocol, formed a hot line with Jesper Bratt and Pavel Zacha, but the former now finds himself on the fourth line while Zacha skates with Miles Wood and Kyle Palmieri. The line has great potential, as Zacha was on a 10-game point streak before getting nullified by the Islanders in Tuesday's 2-1 loss.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
