The game was the final one for the Devils before they open the regular season against the Edmonton Oilers in the 2018 NHL Global Series at Scandinavium in Gothenburg, Sweden on Saturday (1 p.m. ET; NHLN, SN, MSG+, NHL.TV).
Nico Hischier, the first Switzerland-born player chosen with the first pick of an NHL draft when the New Jersey selected him No. 1 in 2017, was given a standing ovation during the lineup announcements. He was the final player announced, and the arena public address announcer said "Center, 13, Nico ... " and most of the 17,031 in attendance responded "Hischier."
The 19-year-old forward played for Bern for three seasons, including 20 games with the team in National League, Switzerland's top professional league, in 2015-16.
"I think North American players aren't really used to this where players are introduced like that but it's like this, and it was a great welcome," Hischier said. "I got goosebumps everywhere."

"I think [Hischier] was a little nervous coming into it." Hall said. "I would feel a little bit nervous as well but there was a lot of support for him. It was really cool as teammates to be along with him and I hope he had a good time."
