Johnson will take a seat on Thursday after going pointless in his first four games with the Bruins. Patrick Brown will take his spot in the lineup.

The 32-year-old Brown has 25 points (10G / 15A) in 149 career NHL games, but has spent most of the previous two seasons in the AHL. Brown has seven points (3G / 4A) in 12 games with the Providence Bruins (AHL) this season.

The Bruins, fresh off a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, will turn to Swayman between the pipes for a third straight game. The 25-year-old Swayman is sporting a pedestrian 3.03 GAA and .896 SV% in 12 games (5-5-2). The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as +150 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team that defeated them 5-2 three weeks ago when Swayman allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%).

Lindholm suffered a lower-body injury in the first period of Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Blue and did not return. The 30-year-old defenseman was averaging 20:51 time-on-ice and had seven points (3G / 4A) in 17 games this season.

The Bruins will turn to Swayman between the pipes for the fourth time in the last five games. Partially a byproduct of poor team play, Swayman has struggled this season, posting a 3.13 GAA and .896 SV% in 11 outings (4-5-2), a far cry from the 2.53 GAA and .916 SV% he recorded in 44 games last season (25-10-8) to help him secure an eight-year, $66 million contract extension. That said, the Bruins enter the action on Tuesday as -168 road favorites against a St. Louis Blues club coming off a disastrous 8-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.

The Bruins, fresh off a disappointing 4-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, will switch to Korpisalo between the pipes on Thursday. Korpisalo was excellent in his last outing, his first shutout of the season, saving all 20 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. That said, Korpisalo has been inconsistent this season, posting a 2.70 GAA and .894 SV% in five outings (2-2-0). The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as -156 home favorites against the Calgary Flames.

The Bruins have posted consecutive shutout victories, one courtesy of Joonas Korpisalo and Jeremy Swayman.

His best season was in 2014-15 with the Tampa Bay Lightning when he scored 72 points (29G / 43A) in 77 games.
