Hellebuyck will start Wednesday in Toronto.

Hellebuyck allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Jets win in Montreal. It was a much-needed performance for Hellebuyck, who has struggled since Christmas.

Hughes (upper-body) will not play on Thursday.

Hughes was banged up late in Tuesday's shootout win over the Bruins but returned to the game and played in overtime. He was on the ice for Thursday's morning skate but will not play tonight, but his availability for the skate suggests it's a very minor issue.

Allen will start Tuesday in Arizona.
