Devils pair up their two young stars ahead of match up against Toronto.

The New Jersey Devils are facing the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night and now it looks like Devils head coach John Hynes is taking a bit of a gamble this evening. 

With the return of injured former first round pick Kyle Palmieri to the line up this evening Hynes has made the decision to place 19-year-old Jesper Bratt with 2017 first overall pick, 18-year-old Nico Hischier on the second line.

While everyone across the league expects Hischier to be a star player, Bratt's development was a different matter entirely. Bratt was the Devil's sixth round pick in 2016, but since being injected into the line up for this season he has recorded 3 goals and 2 assists in the two games the Devils have played.

Hynes appears to be hoping his two young guns will be able to compete with the young offensive talent the Maple Leafs are currently bringing to the table/
