New Jersey Bedeviled by Injury

Goaltender Markstrom is definitely out for New Jersey. He'll be missing 4-6 weeks with an ACL strain. As for Hischier, who left Monday's 4-3 overtime win at Montreal due to an undisclosed injury, his status is less certain. The Devils are listing him as day to day.

New Jersey's captain, Hischier is leading the team with 24 goals. Devils coach Sheldon Keefe was also allowing that forward Jack Hughes, whose 57 points leads the team in scoring, is also banged up and less the 100% fit. Hughes has scored four goals with seven assists over the last 10 games.

Defenseman Santeri Hatakka (shoulder) and left wing Erik Haula (ankle) are also out for New Jersey.

New Jersey was ending a 2-6-3 skid with the club's latest back-to-back wins. Minus Markstrom, veteran backup Jake Allen will be carrying the workload between the posts.

Flyers Truly A Team Treading Water

At 22-22-6 the Flyers are a .500 hockey club, in more ways than one. Philadelphia is 11-11-1 at home. The Flyers are 11-11-5 on the road. They are 3-3 in the shootout. However, despite this even-money approach, the Flyers are a surprising minus-21 in goal differential.
