Nico Hischier picked up the first point of his NHL career in style Monday afternoon.
The 18-year-old burned Buffalo Sabres defenseman Marco Scandella behind the net and fed teammate Brian Gibbons, who converted on the perfect pass and gave the New Jersey Devils a 2-0 lead.
Hischier was taken first overall by the Devils in June's draft.
