The contract will carry an $883,750 AAV cap hit for the undrafted free agent out of Boston College. The 22-year-old forward leads Boston College in goals (21) and is second in points (32) in 33 games this season.

Hischier missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but will play Tuesday in Vancouver. Hischier figures to replace Mason Geertsen in the lineup and should be back in his second-line centre role.





Hischier has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury and skated by himself before Saturday's morning skate, leaving him questionable to play Saturday. It seems unlikely that he'll be back in the lineup but monitor his status when the Devils hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.





Hischier will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, so Pavel Zacha will continue to serve as the Devils' second-line centre.

Brown will be a game-time decision for the second straight game. He's battling an undisclosed ailment but was able to play through it in St. Louis on Tuesday. If he can't go on Thursday, Tyler Ennis will draw into the lineup.
