Stralman (undisclosed) is not on the ice for warmups; will not play on Tuesday.

Stralman was a late scratch on Tuesday when he did not come out for warmups. There is no word on what is ailing the veteran defenseman, but consider him day-to-day until more details are released. He will be replaced by Luke Witkowski, who was recalled from Syracuse (AHL) earlier today.

The Bruins will not hold a morning skate because of their back-to-back. Head coach Claud Julien will address the media around 6:20 p.m. but we might have to wait until warmups to find out who their starter is.

Rask allowed four goals on 51 shots in the win last night. His heavy workload means Jonas Gustavsson could go tonight.

Korpisalo starts Tuesday vs. the Red Wings.

Korpisalo allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Oilers on Friday. Curtis McElhinney started on Saturday and Sergei Bobrovsky (groin) isn’t quite ready to return, so Korpisalo goes tonight vs. Detroit. Korpisalo has won four of his last five starts while posting a 2.57 GAA and .911 SV%. The 21-year-old has played especially good on home ice, going 8-3-3 with a 2.42 GAA and .923 SV%.
