Hischier will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury, but he was originally listed as a game-time decision which suggests that he is close. With Hischier still out, Travis Zajac is expected to remain on the Devils’ top-line.
Bernier made 49 saves on 52 shots in the Red Wings win in Carolina last Saturday. Bernier struggled early in his Red Wings career, but has since won two of his last three while stopping 115 of the last 124 shots (.927 SV%) that he has faced. This afternoon he faces a Devils team that is tied for 15th in goals for (3.06 GF/pg).
Allen allowed one goal on 19 shots in the Blues loss in Chicago on Wednesday. It was a solid outing for Allen, who was on the verge of losing his starting job last week. He will make his second straight start tonight in Vegas, who he stopped 31 shots against in a win on November 1st.
Hischier has missed the last two games, but was back on the ice for practice on Friday and could be back on Saturday. Hischier has registered 12 points (3G / 9A) in 15 games this season.
Russo, 25, has registered eight assists in 13 games with Tucson this season. The former fourth-round pick has been called up because the Coyotes blueline is without Jakob Chychrun, Alex Goligoski and Jason Demers, who was injured last night. Russo has no points in 19 career NHL games (all with the Red Wings).
Hischier will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. The second-year centre remains day-to-day and questionable for the Devils back-to-back vs. Detroit (Saturday) and in Carolina (Sunday) this weekend.
Golden Knights head coach Gerard Gallant announced on Wednesday that Haula is “month-to-month” but wouldn’t say if he needed surgery. Haula will likely be out until at least mid-December and could be out much longer than that.
Allen allowed five goals on 45 shots in the Blues 5-1 loss to Minnesota on November 3rd. Chad Johnson ended up starting all three games last week, but Allen will start the first game this week. The 28-year-old has already faced the Blackhawks three times this season, going 1-0-2 with a putrid 4.34 GAA and .879 SV%.
Haula was stretchered off of the ice in Toronto on November 6th, but his injury remains a bit of a mystery. TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported that Haula’s injury is complex and the Golden Knights won’t know the full extent of the injury until he receives second and third medical opinions. It sounds like the second-line centre will miss at least a couple of months.
Markstrom will make his second start in as many nights after getting the nod against the Rangers on Monday. He stopped 25 of 27 shots as the Canucks fell short by a score of 2-1. He continues to be leaned on heavily by coach Travis Green despite a lackluster .900 SV% on the season. He draws a difficult matchup tonight against a high-scoring Islanders team.
Hischier was forced to leave Sunday’s game with an upper-body injury and will not play against the Penguins. The Devils have not provided an update on the severity of Hischier’s injury, but he will be replace by Pavel Zacha tonight.
Markstrom allowed three goals on 37 shots in the Canucks loss in Buffalo on Saturday. Markstrom has gone 4-1-2 with a 3.45 GAA and .888 SV% in seven starts since Anders Nilsson got hurt. Tonight he will face a Rangers team without two of their top wingers, but Markstrom is 2-2-2 with a 3.53 GAA and .889 SV% on the road.
Pesce is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury that he suffered against the Red Wings on Saturday. Pesce was reportedly injured in a knee-on-knee collision, but is not expected to be sidelined long-term. With Pesce out, Trevor van Riemsdyk will draw back into the lineup on Monday.
Bernier allowed four goals on 42 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Oilers last Saturday. Bernier’s career in Detroit has gotten off to a rough start, posting a 4.20 GAA and .873 SV% in his first five games. He’ll be in tough again tonight with the Red Wings on the tail-end of a back-to-back against on of the best 5v5 teams in the NHL.
Siegenthaler will make his NHL debut on Friday. The 21-year-old has picked up two assists in 14 games with Hershey this season. Siegenthaler will replace John Carlson (lower-body) in the lineup.
