Lohrei hasn't played a game for Boston since January 18th and has primarily been with the Providence Bruins (AHL) since. The 23-year-old defender has excelled at the AHL level this season with 13 points (1G / 12A) in 17 games.
Lindholm left Monday's game after 18:09 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will be evaluated on Tuesday to declare the extent of his injury. The 30-year-old defenseman is a key piece in Boston's impressive defensive unit and has a goal, 18 assists, 73 SOG, 54 PIMs and a +19 plus/minus through 57 games this season.
As has been the case most of the season, the Bruins will continue to alternate goalies and turn to Swayman on Monday after Ullmark played on Saturday. Swayman has a sub-.900 SV% in two of his last three games (0-3-0), a rarity for the All-Star netminder. The Bruins are -134 home favourites against a Dallas Stars club without their number one defenceman Miro Heiskanen (personal).
Blumel was recalled on Sunday purely for salary cap purposes as the Stars have opted to return him to the Texas Stars and have recalled defensemen Derrick Pouliot and Alex Petrovic instead. Blumel has been having an impressive season with the Texas Stars (AHL), scoring 38 points (20G / 18A) in 46 games.
As has been the case most of the season, Swayman will tend the twine on Thursday, replacing Linus Ullmark, the starter in the Bruins' previous contest. Swayman has lost consecutive games in regulation, a first-time occurrence for the All-Star netminder, allowing six goals on 57 shots and posting an uncharacteristically low .895 SV%. That said, the Bruins are -181 home favourites against a Seattle Kraken club with only three wins in their last 10 games (3-6-1).
Korpisalo had the night off on Tuesday, a 6-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, but will return to the crease on Thursday as the Senators attempt to extend their four-game winning streak. Korpisalo has been excellent lately, winning three straight while allowing three or fewer goals in each and posting a .935 SV%. The Senators are sizeable -202 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks squad that was limited to only 13 shots on goal in their last contest, a 5-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.
The veteran winger has not played a game yet this season after being placed on injured reserve in mid-October. After several down seasons, Arvidsson has refound his game as a Los Angeles King, scoring 108 points (46G / 62A) in 143 games over the previous two seasons. He returned to practice last week and will make his season debut on Thursday night after being activated off the Injured Reserve earlier in the day.

Jeannot was activated off Injured Reserve earlier this week and made his return to the lineup on Tuesday, but was limited to only 5:44 time-on-ice before re-aggravating his lower-body injury. The 26-year-old bruising winger has filled in his bottom-six role well this season with 12 points (6G/6A), 52 SOG, 61 PIMs, and a -11 plus/minus in 41 games played before the injury.
Steeves made his season debut on Tuesday, logging 10:14 time-on-ice, one shot, and six hits. He will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, indicating that one or both of Mitch Marner and John Tavares will likely return to the lineup from illness.

Steeves was recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) on an emergency basis with both John Tavares and Mitch Marner set to miss Tuesday's game to an illness, and will slot right into the lineup on the Leafs' fourth line. Steeves has 18 goals and 20 assists in 38 AHL games this season.

Jeannot has been out since January 6th due to a lower-body injury but was activated off Injured Reserve on Tuesday and will rejoin Tampa Bay's lineup. The 26-year-old bruising winger has filled in his bottom-six role well this season with 12 points (6G/6A), 52 SOG, 61 PIMs, and a -11 plus/minus in 41 games played prior to the injury.
Arber Xhekaj will draw into the Canadiens' lineup on Tuesday, replacing Harris, who suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Harris was limited to only 1:34 time-on-ice before exiting Sunday's contest.
