Hischier has two goals and four points through five games to begin the season as he looks to reach the 60-point plateau for the fourth straight campaign.

Plucks apple in win Hischier logged an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
Impact The helper was Hischier's first point since his goal versus the Sabres on Oct. 4. The center has added 10 shots on net, three blocked shots and two hits through four appearances. Hischier can do better on offense, but he's also a strong defensive center, and that may occasionally hinder his scoring contributions. Nonetheless, he's locked into a top-six role.

Scores goal Opening Night Hischier scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 4-1 Opening Night victory against Buffalo.
Impact Hischier has reached the 60-point threshold in each of his previous three campaigns and looks poised to do more of the same in 2024-25. Given his role with the No. 1 power-play unit, the Swiss center should be capable of getting back over the 30-goal mark this year after coming just three tallies shy last season.

Takes step back with 67-point year Hischier provided an assist in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders, wrapping up the 2023-24 season with 27 goals and 67 points in 71 appearances.
Impact Hischier posted his second-highest point total and appeared in the third-most games of his seven-year career, but this season has to be viewed as a disappointment on the heels of his 80-point output in 2022-23. The first overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft also took a significant step back defensively, with his rating dropping from plus-33 last season to minus-5 as the Devils missed the postseason in 2023-24.

Strong play continues Hischier scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-2 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.
Impact Hischier split the Leafs D and beat netminder Joseph Woll with a backhand in the first to knot the game 1-1. His assist came on the power play. Hischier has points in six of his last seven games (four goals, six assists) and 65 (27 goals, 38 assists) in 68 contests on the season. No, he hasn't replicated his 80 points in 81 games from last year. But there has been growth in Hischier's game. He is just four goals from his career mark (31) which was set last season. And his face-off percentage has ticked up to 56.9, which suggests an improved diligence at the dot. The Devils are out of playoff contention, but it's not been because of Hischier.

Provides assist in loss Hischier put up an assist and went minus-3 in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres.
Impact Hischier concludes a productive March with four goals and 12 helpers over 15 contests. The center is up to 59 points, 167 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 63 outings overall. He needs just one more point to reach 60 for the third year in a row, but he'll fall short of matching his 31-goal, 80-point campaign from 2022-23.

Three points in win Hischier scored a goal and dished two assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
Impact Hischier scored his 24th goal of the season in the first period and added two helpers to contribute to half of New Jersey's goals on the night. It was the 15th multi-point game for Hischier and the fifth time he produced three points or more in a game. Although he may not surpass his career-high of 80 points from last season, Hischier is a consistent point-per-game player at this point in his career.

Twenty points in last 17 games Hischier had a goal and two assists in a 4-1 win over the Jets on Thursday.

He has 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists) and 62 shots in his last 17 games. Hischier's pace is a bit slower than last season when he popped in 31 goals and 80 points in 81 games. But he's on a solid run heading into the last weeks of the season.
