Devils' Nico Hischier: Labeled week-to-week

Head coach Sheldon Keefe said Wednesday that Hischier (upper body) is considered week-to-week.

Hischier figures to miss at least the Devils' next two games before being re-evaluated by the team, which would make him a decent candidate for injured reserve. At this point, it might make more sense for the team to shut down the 26-year-old center until after the 4 Nations Face-Off. Prior to getting hurt, Hischier was rolling offensively with goals in four of his last six games for a total of five goals and two assists, including five power-play points.
