Hischier Stays: Devils Lock Down Captain | New Jersey Devils News

Jul 2, 2026 · 1 min

The New Jersey Devils just locked down their captain for the long haul, signing Nico Hischier to a massive five-year, $58.5 million extension that keeps him in red and black through 2032. Already a franchise cornerstone since being the 2017 first overall pick, Hischier led the team with 28 goals and 66 points last season — and is one of just seven Devils to hit 60+ points in five seasons. This move sends a clear message: the organization sees him as irreplaceable, both on and off the ice, and is fully committed to building around him as they aim for a return to contention.
