Hischier (upper body) was activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Dallas on Saturday, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site. Hischier will return to a top-six role and a spot on the first power-play unit after missing the last six games.

The New Jersey Devils are set to return to action following the 4 Nations Face-Off and could very well be getting their injured star forward back on Saturday against the Dallas Stars.

Devils center Jack Hughes raised his arms in the air and looked into the packed Prudential Center crowd for all to see. The celebration made sense because he was one of the few Devils players to show up on Saturday night against the Dallas Stars.

Hughes scored twice in a 4-2 loss to the Stars on Saturday. Hughes scored a power-play goal at the 10:00 mark of the third period to get the Devils on the board, cutting the score to 2-1. He then cut it to 3-2 at 11:40 with a snap shot from the left circle after Matt Duchene replied to his first goal.
