The Senators, amid a seven-game losing skid, will turn to Korpisalo for the third straight time on Tuesday. Korpisalo allowed two goals on 21 shots (.905 SV%) in his last outing, a disappointing 2-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Senators enter action as slight -100 home underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins club that has been miserable lately, being outscored 15-1 in their last three games (0-3-0).

The Bruins will continue their typical goalie rotation on Monday as Swayman will be back between the pipes after Linus Ullmark got the nod in Saturday's win over the Penguins. Swayman picked up yet another victory his last time out, allowing just a single goal on 29 shots as the Bruins cruised to a 4-1 defeat of the Maple Leafs. The 25-year-old netminder hasn't lost a game in regulation since February 15th. He's got a great chance of staying in the win column on Monday with the Bruins being -240 favourites over the Blues.
