Anybody have any sort of intel on Hischier and how he played.


Much appreciated.
Nobody seems to have released their opinion of Hischier's game yet, but from what I have gathered so far, Hischier had an assist and a penalty shot.
 

Game Recap - Oshawa, Ontario, Canada - Jack Roslovic (Columbus, Ohio/Manitoba Moose/Winnipeg Jets) tallied a goal and an assist and nine other United States players registered a point as the United States defeated Switzerland 4-3, here tonight in a pre-tournament game ahead of next weeks 2017 IIHF World Junior Championships.

The United States opened the scoring just 2:17 into the contest when Jeremy Bracco (Freeport, New York/Kitchener Rangers/Toronto Maple Leafs) swiped home a rebound in the crease off a shot from the point by Casey Fitzgerald (North Reading, Massachusetts/Boston College/Buffalo Sabres).

The United States will play its second and final pre-tournament game against the Czech Republic at the Rogers K-Rock Centre in Kingston, Ontario, on Friday, December 23 with a puck drop set for 7:00 pm ET.

I was at the game last night. Keller and Bracco were the best players on the ice, in my opinion. Keller especially. He has terrific vision and speed. Was constantly creating scoring opportunities. Set up Tage Thompson for a gorgeous cross ice one-time in the third on the PP. Bracco's skating and patience with the puck were very impressive. I love how he's constantly using c-cuts to evade the opposing players while providing himself with better looks.

I thought the Americans looked good overall. They had a good sense of chemistry considering this is their first official game together. They'd really throw the puck around nicely and seemed to really have a feel for where each other are on the ice.

None of the D or other forwards really stood out for me. Looks like a good mix that really has a good feel for each other.

He had his moments. Showed some explosive bursts where he'd take over down with his tenacity and was a threat backing off the D with his speed off the rush.

Thanks for the info, can't wait to see Keller and Strome face off against each other, hopefully for a gold medal.
