NEW YORK -- Devils No. 1 pick Nico Hischier is living the life of a tourist this week.

Sunday's stop?

Yankee Stadium for Old-Timers' Day and then the Yankees-Texas Rangers game.

"I've never been to New Jersey or New York before, so it's great to see how things are going here," Hischier said from the Yankee Stadium press box with a Yankees jersey on his back and a Devils cap on his head.

Since hearing his name called first overall at the NHL Draft last Friday night, the 18-year-old center has made trips to Newark to tour the Prudential Center and to Harrison to take in a Red Bulls' soccer game.

By the way, while baseball isn't popular in Hischier's native Switzerland, caps from Major League clubs are and ...

"I think my first one was a Yankees hat," he said.

During the action-packed three days, Hischier also met up with Devils forward Kyle Palmieri on Saturday for dinner.

"It was great to meet him," he said.

There will be more touring on Monday when Hischier appears as a guest on WFAN's Boomer and Carton before sightseeing around Times Square. He'll then head to Newark for lunch to get a taste of Hobby's Deli before returning to the Prudential Center for a news conference Devils alongside general manager Ray Shero and head coach John Hynes.

The youngster is having a blast so far.

"It's unbelievable," he said. "I really like it here."
