Borgen (upper-body) will be a game-time decision in Carolina on Wednesday.
Borgen has only played one game in the last two weeks, but could return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 28-year-old Borgen has two points (1G / 2A) and is averaging 18:38 time-on-ice through 19 games this season.
Goalie Start
Swayman will start on Long Island on Wednesday.
After a forgetful 2024-25 season, posting a career-worst 3.11 GAA and .892 SV% in 58 games (22-29-7), Swayman has been terrific in 2025-26. The 27-year-old American netminder has an absurd .800 quality start percentage, posting a 2.79 GAA and .909 SV% in 15 games this season (9-6-0). He has allowed three or fewer goals in all but three of his outings this season. The Bruins enter Wednesday's contest as +142 road underdogs against an Islanders team that has scored just one goal in its last two games (1-1-0).
Ivan has been recalled from the Colorado Eagles (AHL).
Ivan played a prominent role with the Avalanche during the 2024-25 season, making his NHL debut and scoring eight points (5G/3A) in 40 games. That said, the 23-year-old Czech forward has played exclusively in the AHL through 2025-26, scoring six points (2G / 4A) in 18 games with the Eagles.
Patera has been recalled from Abbotsford (AHL) under emergency conditions.
Patera was assigned to Abbotsford (AHL) yesterday to get some extra playing time, but was quickly recalled on Tuesday in correspondence to Kevin Lankinen not traveling with Vancouver due to personal reasons. The 26-year-old Patera has a 3.10 GAA and .894 SV% in five games (1-2-1) with the Abbotsford Canucks this season.

The Bruins are 7-3-0 in their last 10, but have lost two straight and hope to return to the win column with Swayman tending the twine on Friday against the Los Angeles Kings. Swayman was solid in his most recent outing, saving 29 of 32 shots (.906 SV%), but lost 3-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes. After a shaky start to the season, the 26-year-old Swayman has a 2.50 GAA and .920 SV% in his last six games (5-1-0). The Bruins enter Friday's contest as +172 road underdogs against a Kings team that played last night and lost 4-3 to the San Jose Sharks in a shootout.
Gaunce has been recalled from Cleveland (AHL).
Gaunce is no stranger to the NHL, with 189 career games, but has yet to suit up for the Blue Jackets this season. The 31-year-old forward has six points (4G / 2A) with the Cleveland Monsters (AHL) this season. Luca Del Bel Belluz has been loaned to Cleveland in a corresponding move.
Line Change
Reichel will be a scratch for Thursday's game against the Stars.
It's unclear whether Reichel is dealing with an undisclosed injury or if he's simply a healthy scratch. MacKenzie MacEachern will play in his place.
Borgen is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Borgen returned from a two-game absence due to an upper-body injury on Tuesday, but will return to the sidelines on Thursday. The 28-year-old Borgen has two points (1G / 2A) and is averaging 18:38 time-on-ice through 19 games this season.
McAvoy (upper-body) underwent surgery on Wednesday and does not have a timetable to return.
McAvoy exited Boston's 3-2 win over Montreal on Saturday after only 13:41 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury and has not played since. The 27-year-old defenseman successfully underwent surgery on Wednesday, but it's unclear when he will return and if this will impact his availability for the upcoming winter Olympics. He has 14 points (0G / 14A) through 19 games this season.
Borgen (upper-body) will play in Vegas on Tuesday.
Borgen missed the Rangers' previous two games with an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup in Vegas on Tuesday. The 28-year-old defender will make a welcome addition back to the Rangers' lineup, with his three points (1G/2A), eight PIMs and +4 plus/minus in 18 games played this season.
