With the New Jersey Devils scratching and clawing for points during a playoff race in mid-February of 2018, Nico Hischier stole the show. For the week ending on Feb. 18, he was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week. The then19-year-old player recorded seven points, which included four goals and three assists during a perfect 4-0-0 week for the Devils.

Hischier scored a goal in every game, adding up to a career-long four-game goal scoring streak. The week featured crucial wins over division foes, the Philadelphia Flyers and Carolina Hurricanes (x2) along with a road triumph over the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning.
