New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (sinus) won't play on Friday against Pittsburgh but is close to returning to action after dealing with a sinus fracture. Devils head coach Lindy Ruff has noted that he wants Hischier to practice at least one more time before inserting him back into the lineup. The top pick of the 2017 NHL draft hasn't played since Feb. 27. In fact, Hischier has skated in five games total, so it's a lost season for him, but the Swiss center will still be able to help fantasy teams when he makes his return. He'll be playing a huge role for the Devils, who have gone ahead with a youth movement.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
