Peeke has been a healthy scratch for the Blue Jackets' previous two games but with Columbus switching to 11F/7D on Tuesday will draw back into the lineup for Kirill Marchenko. The 25-year-old defensive defenseman has yet to score through 21 games played this season but has six assists, six PIMs and a -5 plus/minus.
The struggling Bruins, losers of eight of their last 11 (3-3-5), will turn to Swayman between the pipes on Monday evening. Swayman owns the only three wins for the Bruins in four weeks but has struggled during that time as well. In his last outing, Swayman saved 32 of 36 shots (.889 SV%) in a 5-4 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. The Bruins are +113 road underdogs against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.
Zacha exited Saturday's 5-1 loss to the New York Islanders with a lower-body injury after playing only 4:40 time-on-ice and was a game-time decision Monday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Czech forward has struggled to stay consistent offensively this season, scoring only three points (0G / 3A) in his last 11 games.

After originally being confirmed to start the contest, Korpisalo was a late scratch for Friday's game against the Coyotes, with the team only announcing his absence less than 30 minutes before puck drop. Anton Forsberg will make the start in his place.
After starting three consecutive games backing up Anton Forsberg, Korpisalo will likely return to the crease for the second straight game on Friday. Korpisalo allowed four goals on 36 shots (.889 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Tuesday and is winless in his last four starts (0-3-1), allowing three or more goals in each. The Senators enter action on Friday as -186 home favourites against an Arizona Coyotes club riding an unprecedented 14-game losing skid (0-12-2).
Peeke last appeared for the Blue Jackets on January 30th but will make his first appearance in nearly a month as he replaces Adam Boqvist on Columbus' blue line Thursday. The 25-year-old has yet to score this season but has six assists, 21 SOG and a -4 plus/minus in the 20 games that he has dressed.
Swayman will return to the crease on Thursday for a Bruins team amid a three-game losing skid. Swayman allowed three goals on 39 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks in his last outing and has allowed three or more goals in five of his last six (2-3-1). That said, the Bruins are -158 home favourites against the Vegas Golden Knights, who defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-2 on Tuesday.
Khusnutdinov was the 37th overall pick of Minnesota in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old Khusnutdinov has played exclusively in Europe to this point and has 20 points (6G / 14A) in 49 games with Sochi HC of the KHL.
Korpisalo will take back the crease on Tuesday after Anton Forsberg gave up six in a loss to Washington in the first part of Ottawa's back-to-back on Monday. The 29-year-old goalie's -14.6 GSAx is far and away the worst among all goalies in the NHL and is a dark spot after he signed a four-year, $20 million contract in the offseason. He will look to halt Nashville's surprising five-game winning streak as Ottawa heads to Bridgestone on Tuesday.
Arvidsson exited Tuesday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets after playing only 17 seconds due to an undisclosed injury. It was only Arvidsson's fourth game of the season as he recently made his debut, returning from back surgery in October. He was off to a strong start before his injury, tallying two points (0G / 2A) and 12 shots in his first three games.

Linus Ullmark had a rough outing in his last contest, allowing five goals on 35 shots (.857 SV%) in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Kings, opening the door for Swayman to break Boston's typical goalie rotation and start back-to-back games. Swayman was spectacular against the Stars on Monday, stopping 43 of the 46 shots he faced enroute to a 4-3 shootout victory. The Bruins enter action as +118 road underdogs against the Edmonton Oilers and their fifth-ranked offense (3.56 GF / GP).
