That’s what viewers of the Leafs-New Jersey Devils game will see Wednesday night, with Auston Matthews, last year’s first overall pick in the NHL draft, facing Nico Hischier, this year’s No. “I know he has good speed and good skill,” Leafs coach Mike Babcock said about Hischier at the morning skate Wednesday. “I saw him get to the net and pull up with good speed. What they (Devils) have on their three lines is two significant players and a worker. They’re on top of you, they’re working hard.”
