Hischier had 66 points (28 goals, 38 assists) last season and has had at least 60 points and 20 goals in five consecutive seasons. Hischier, who has 52 power-play points and 25 power-play goals (11th in NHL) over his past two seasons combined, is one of two players to have at least 60 goals (63), 135 points (135), 90 hits (102) and 120 blocked shots (122) since 2024-25 (other: Matt Boldy). It\u2019s worth noting that the 27-year-old has 22 game-winning goals, five overtime goals, eight short-handed points and 3,671 face-off wins (second in NHL) over his past four seasons. Hischier\u2019s category coverage makes him an undervalued draft target in the middle rounds, especially in leagues with blocked shots and face-off wins.<\/p>\n
