Here are your links for today: Devils Links The Devils lost Nico Hischier to injury in Saturday’s game against the Canadiens, but Jack Hughes finished things off in overtime as New Jersey took a 4-3 win. [Devils NHL] Fun stats: Nico update: “The Jacob Markström injury could have been much worse than it was. The New Jersey Devils’ netminder will miss 4 to 6 weeks with an MCL sprain, but the good news is that the 4 Nations Face-off begins in two weeks, so Markström should only miss seven games or so.
