Devils captain Nico Hischier left last night's preseason game for an odd reason
The 2022 NHL preseason is officially in full force, and last night there were several more games for fans to take in.
One of them was the up-and-coming New Jersey Devils opening up their preseason against a rebuilding Montreal Canadiens club. Although this game was filled with young talent, it was an odd injury that was one of the main talking points.
After having 6:24 of ice time in the 1st period, Devils captain Nico Hischier did not join his team for the second period, leading to this announcement from the Devils quickly following:
''Nico Hischier will not return to tonight's game due to cramping. The medical staff will work on him but are keeping him out as a precaution.''
While other sports are notorious for cramps, it's a very rare occurrence in the NHL. Given that this is the preseason, it's likely the Devils weren't taking any chances with their young captain.
