Nico Hischier, New Jersey Devils captain, is making a strong case for the Frank J. Selke Trophy, despite a challenging season. After a slow start, Hischier has been playing exceptionally well, scoring nine points in his last four games. His on-ice expected goals-for percentage is nearly 48.5%, placing him among Selke contenders like Nick Suzuki and Sam Reinhart. Despite inconsistent goaltending, injuries, and line changes, Hischier is proving the Devils can compete, even without Jack Hughes.
