BLOG: No Update on Nico's Status

The Devils are still without their captain, Nico Hischier, who took a puck to the face in a recent game and has missed time since. Head Coach Lindy Ruff was asked after practice on Wednesday if there was any change to Hischier's status but the answer was, not quite yet.
"No further update," said Ruff. "You know, I spoke with him at the game last night. I had a great conversation, but we don't have an update as of yet. We'll probably have one in the next couple of days."
Hischier has played in just five games this season, recording two goals and an assist. He's been out since sustaining the injury on Feb. 27 against Washington.
