NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Devils captain Nico Hischier is considered week to week with injury. Coach Sheldon Keefe provided an update on Hischier’s status following his team’s morning skate. Hischier is out for the Devils’ game Wednesday night against Philadelphia and figures to miss Sunday’s at Buffalo, as well. Keefe said team doctors would evaluate Hischier next week and go from there. The 26-year-old center from Switzerland has been out since minutes after getting cross-checked in the midsection by Montreal’s Nick Suzuki during the teams’ game Saturday.
