In 70 games, he has a team-leading 34 goals and ranks third on the club with 63 points. With numbers like these, he has undoubtedly stepped up for the Devils [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqLQgKIidDQklTRndnTWFoTUtFWFJvWldodlkydGxlVzVsZDNNdVkyOXRLQUFQAQ/sections/CAQqEAgAKgcICjCvqtILMO7F6QMwpeDfCA?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA:en]yet again this season and has been a big reason why they comfortably sit third in the Metropolitan Division. However, what's more encouraging about Hischier's play is that he only continues to thrive as the campaign continues. The 2017 first-overall pick is on fire offensively, scoring four goals in his last two games alone. He was already red-hot before this, too, as he has eight goals and 14 points in his previous 11 contests. With Devils superstar Jack Hughes being done for the season, the Devils need their top players like Hischier to be on their A-game. Right now, Hischer is certainly on his, and it is coming at a great time with the playoffs right around the corner. It will be interesting to see how Hischier builds on his hot streak from here. Right now, he is not showing a single sign of slowing down.
