Hughes, who was banged up late in the Boston game, will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. He remains day-to-day, so monitor his status heading into Tuesday's meeting with the Islanders.
Bratt suffered an undisclosed injury vs. the Islanders on Thursday and will be unavailable for Saturday's game vs. the Avalanche. With Bratt out, Pavel Zacha will be elevated to the top line and Ben Street, who was called up from the AHL will draw in on the third line.
Markstrom allowed two goals on 51 shots in the Canucks win over the Kings last Saturday. It was a fantastic game for Markstrom, who has won four straight while posting a 2.24 GAA and .941 SV%. He has gone 7-5-2 with a 2.48 GAA, .924 SV% and one shutout on home-ice this year but will face a Chicago team that is heating up, winning five of their last six with 3.83 goals per game.
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 allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Blues win in San Jose on December 21st. Jordan Binnington started the last three games but it looks like Allen will start New Year's Even in Arizona. Allen has gone 4-1-0 with a 1.39 GAA, .958 SV% and one shutout in his last six outings (five starts). He draws a solid road matchup in Arizona, vs. a Coyotes team that has lost three in a row while scoring just 1.67 goals per game.
