Korpisalo participated in the Sentaors' morning skate on Monday and could be an option in the crease against the Florida Panthers. Korpisalo has not dressed since November 18th, but the team will hope he can regain his pre-injury form when he posted a 4-2-0 record and a .921 SV% in his last eight appearances.
Jokiharju has two goals, five assists, 18 SOG, two PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 18 games this season but will be a healthy scratch Saturday vs. New Jersey. Isak Rosen will make his debut in Jokiharju's place.
Tufte appeared in two games in his latest call-up to the Avalanche and had a goal and an assist but has been reassigned to the Colorado Eagles (AHL) Saturday. The 25-year-old returns to the minors, where he was dominant prior to his promotion with nine goals, eight assists, six PIMs and a +4 plus/minus in 12 games played.
Lohrei played very well in his first taste of the NHL, recording four points (1G / 3A), 17 SOG and a minus-3 rating in 10 games. He gets sent to the AHL along with Patrick Brown in order to make room for Matt Grzelcyk to be activated from LTIR ahead of Saturday's game.
Brown suited up in the last two games for the Bruins, picking up one assist in 8:13 ATOI. Brown and Mason Lohrei were sent back to the AHL to make room for Matt Grzelcyk to be activated from LTIR.
Lettieri had two goals, 14 SOG, four PIMs, and a -4 plus/minus in 11 games in 2023-24 but has been placed on waivers Thursday and assigned to Iowa (AHL) Friday. The 28-year-old forward will = return to Iowa, where he has a goal and three points through four games this season prior to his call-up.
Swayman will start Friday afternoon, the front end of a back-to-back for the Bruins. Swayman has struggled his last three games (1-0-2), posting a .895 SV% and allowing 10 goals in the process. That said, the Bruins are -186 home favourites despite losing to the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 on November 4th with Linus Ullmark between the pipes.
Korpisalo appears to still be nursing an undisclosed injury that kept him from dressing in the second game of the NHL Global Series in Sweden on November 18th. The Senators have recalled Mads Sogaard to serve as the backup to Anton Forsberg in the interim. The Senators will hope Korpisalo can return soon as he was finally starting to find his footing this season, posting a 4-2-0 record and a .921 SV% in his last eight appearances.
Lettieri had two goals, 14 SOG, four PIMs, and a -4 plus/minus in 11 games in 2023-24 but has been placed on waivers Thursday. The 28-year-old forward will likely return to Iowa (AHL) if unclaimed, where he has a goal and three points through four games this season prior to his call-up.
Mitchell will take the place of Kevin Shattenkirk alongside Derek Forbort on the Bruins' third pair. Mitchell has no goals and two assists in seven games with the Bruins this season.
Swayman allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Bruins' win over the Canadiens on Saturday. Swayman starting on Monday would be the first time that a Bruins' goalie has started in consecutive games this season, as they've stuck to a strict alternating schedule through the first 16 games. Swayman has been nothing short of spectacular this season, going 7-0-1 with a 1.73 GAA (1st in the NHL), and .941 SV% (1st) in eight games. On Monday he'll face a Lightning team that has had an up-and-down season so far, but rank eighth in the NHL in goals per/60 (3.47).
Swayman will be back between the pipes on Saturday after Linus Ullmark got the nod in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Sabres. Swayman has picked up right where he left off last season, owning a league best .944 SV% and 1.69 GAA to go along with his sparkling 6-0-1 record. The Canadiens will be hard-pressed to deliver Swayman his first regulation loss of the season on Saturday, with Swayman and the Bruins currently being favoured at -260 to pick up the victory.
