Boston Bruins News

The Bruins have had trouble staying healthy this season, with new players being injured seemingly as soon as another returns to the lineup. Arvidsson has already missed seven games this season due to injuries and returns to the sidelines with a lower-body ailment. The 32-year-old Arvidsson has been productive in a middle-six role for the Bruins this season, tallying 14 points (7G / 7A) and 65 shots in 25 games.

McAvoy has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on November 15th and has undergone a challenging recovery, but will return on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. He returned to practice on Monday and will likely be reinserted onto the Bruins' top powerplay unit upon his return. The 27-year-old McAvoy was having a productive season before his injury, despite not scoring a goal, but tallying 14 assists through 19 games.

The Stars' blueline is getting healthier, which resulted in Kolyachonok being a healthy scratch on Tuesday, but he will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild. The 24-year-old Kolyachonok has been impressive in limited action since making his team debut last month, scoring three points (1G / 2A) and averaging 12:42 time-on-ice in 10 games.

McAvoy has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on November 15th and has undergone a challenging recovery, but appears to be nearing his return, possibly as soon as Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. He returned to practice on Monday and will likely be reinserted onto the Bruins' top powerplay unit upon his return. The 27-year-old McAvoy was having a productive season before his injury, despite not scoring a goal, but tallying 14 assists through 19 games.

The Bruins are on a three-game winning streak and will turn to Korpisalo on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 31-year-old Korpisalo was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 37 of 39 shots (.949 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. That said, he has been inconsistent this season, posting a 3.38 GAA and .888 SV% in 12 appearances (5-6-0).

Pastrnak has been incredibly resilient for the Bruins, playing all 82 games in the previous three seasons, and will now return to the lineup after missing five games due to an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old elite Czech forward has 29 points (11G / 18A) in 25 games, factoring in on 37 percent of Boston's goals before his injury.

The Bruins will look to extend their winning streak to three games with Swayman tending the twine on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues. The 27-year-old Swayman was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 29 of 30 shots (.967 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. He has a 2.70 GAA and .913 SV% in 19 games this season (12-7-0). The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +112 road underdogs against a Blues team on a two-game winning streak.

With Thomas Harley (lower body) returning from a multi-week absence, Kolyachonok will exit the lineup and serve as a healthy scratch. A myriad of injuries on the Dallas blueline allowed Kolyachonok to make his team debut last month, and he proved reliable in limited action, averaging 12:42 time-on-ice and scoring three points (1G / 2A) in 10 games.

Pastrnak has been incredibly resilient for the Bruins, playing all 82 games in the previous three seasons, but has missed five games due to an undisclosed injury. That said, he is nearing a return and if he is unable to suit up against the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, he should be ready to play on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 29-year-old elite Czech forward has 29 points (11G / 18A) in 25 games, factoring in on 37 percent of Boston's goals before his injury.

Pastrnak has been incredibly resilient for the Bruins, playing all 82 games in the previous three seasons, but has missed five games due to an undisclosed injury. That said, he appears to be nearing a return and is likely targeting one of the three games on the Bruins' upcoming road trip. The 29-year-old elite Czech forward has 29 points (11G / 18A) in 25 games, factoring in on 37 percent of Boston's goals before his injury.

McAvoy has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on November 15th and has undergone a challenging recovery, but appears to be nearing his return after being a full participant at practice on Monday and will travel with hopes of appearing in their upcoming road trip. The 27-year-old McAvoy was having a productive season before his injury, despite not scoring a goal, but tallying 14 assists through 19 games.

With Michael Callahan (undisclosed) added to a growing list of injured players in Boston, Soderstrom will be the most recent AHL call-up to crack the NHL roster. The 24-year-old Soderstrom has 11 points (1G / 10A) in 53 career NHL games, but has not played in the NHL since a three-game stint with the Arizona Coyotes in the 2023-24 season.

The Bruins have battled through a myriad of key injuries lately, and will hope for stability between the pipes when they turn to Korpisalo on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues. Korpisalo has lost three straight starts, but played well in relief of Jeremy Swayman in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, saving all nine shots he faced in the third period. The 31-year-old Finnish goalie has a troubling 3.52 GAA and .880 SV% in 11 appearances this season (4-6-0). The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as +124 home underdogs against a Blues team that has earned points in three of its last four games (2-1-1).
