OH CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN

The New Jersey Devils named center Nico Hischier the 12th captain in team history on February 20th.

At 22 years and 47 days old, he is the youngest captain currently in the NHL and the second youngest in New Jersey history (Kirk Muller, 21 years and 243 days old; both Muller and Hischier were handed the captaincy at the start of their fourth NHL season). Hischier also becomes just the second current Swiss-born captain in the League joining Roman Josi (Nashville).

CZECHMATE

Pavel Zacha recorded his first 10-game point streak of his career, which came to an end on Mar. 2, 2021. At the time the streak ended, Zacha was one

of five players in the NHL this season to record a 10-game point streak or longer.

Zacha finishes his streak as one of 22 players in Devils franchise history to record a point streak of 10-games or longer. At 23 years and 330 days, sixth youngest player in franchise history to record a streak of 10-games or longer. Zacha becomes the first player since Patrik Elias (23 years 258 days) in the 1999-2000 season to record a point streak of 10-games or longer at the age of 23 years and younger.

ROOKIES LEADING THE WAY

Ty Smith (2-17-19), Janne Kuokkanen (5-11-16), Yegor Sharangovich (7-5-12), Nathan Bastian (2-4-6), Mikhail Maltsev (4-0-4), and

Nicholas Merkley (1-2-3) have all combined for 21 goals, 35 assists for 56 points which leads all rookies in points this season. As of March 17, 2021,

(11)

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

The four players combined for 17 goals, 40 assists for 57 points.

TEEN’S LEADING THE WAY

Jack Hughes (13-22-35) at 19-years-old, is one of 10 teenagers in franchise history to collect at least 35 points. Hughes needs three more points to join

six other players at 40 points or more before turning 20.
