Devils star Nico Hischier saved a family while boating

With the NHL in the midst of its offseason, that doesn't mean that some of the league's biggest stars aren't putting in the work, and in the case of New Jersey Devils captain Nic Hieschier, that work is saving a family from disaster.

Hischier — the top pick in the 2017 NHL Draft — hails from Switzerland and was over there this summer.

According to Swiss German-language outlet 20 Minuten, Hischier was boating near the Engehalde Weir, a dam near the city of Bern, when he saw a family in distress out on the water.
