Allen will start in Philadelphia on Monday.

With Markstrom (MCL) sidelined for the next several weeks, Allen remains in control of the Devils' crease and will be between the pipes on Monday against the Philadelphia Flyers.

He has a 2.67 GAA and .902 SV% in 16 games this season (7-8-1). The Devils enter Monday's contest as -128 road favorites against a Flyers squad outscored 9-2 during a two-game losing skid (0-2-0).

Hischier (undisclosed) is out on Monday in Philadelphia and is still considered day-to-day.

Hischier scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens but exited after only 14:09 time-on-ice due to an undisclosed injury. The 26-year-old Hischier has 43 points (24G / 19A) in 51 games this season. Hischier's next chance to return will be on Wednesday in a rematch against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Palat (illness) returned to practice on Friday after missing the Devils' previous game.

Palat did not play on Wednesday due to an illness but was back at practice on Friday. The 33-year-old Czech forward has 19 points (10G / 9A) in 48 games this season but only has three points (2G / 1A) in his last 10. The Devils return to action on Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens.

Markstrom (MCL sprain) is expected to miss approximately four to six weeks.

Markstrom left Tuesday's game vs. Boston early due to an MCL Sprain after Justin Brazeau crashed into New Jersey's net and will be out for approximately four to six weeks. It is brutal timing for the 34-year-old, who will now miss representing Sweden at the Four Nations Cup. Markstrom was sporting a strong 21-9-5 record with a .912 SV% in his first season with the Devils. Isaac Poulter was recalled from Utica (AHL) in a corresponding move on Friday.

Markstrom is expected to miss an extended amount of time with a knee sprain.

Kevin Weekes noted that Markstrom's status for the Four Nations tournament could be in jeopardy, indicating that it is likely a multi-week injury at the very least. Markstrom suffered the injury in Wednesday's game against Boston and was unable to return. Jake Allen should see the majority of the starts for the Devils in Markstrom's absence.
