Nico Hischier (Illness) Confirmed to Play for Devils vs. Senators

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (illness) is confirmed to play in Saturday's game against the Senators. Initially a game-time decision after missing the morning skate, Hischier is now ready to go. He is expected to play on the second line and contribute in all situations. This means Juho Lammikko, who was a potential replacement, will remain out of the lineup. Hischier has recorded 18 goals and 41 points, including 14 power-play points, across 54 games this season.
