Boston Bruins News
Joonas Korpisalo (undisclosed) will miss Saturday's game vs. Minnesota and is considered day-to-day.
Goalie Start
Korpisalo led the Senators onto the ice for warmups.
Korpisalo has consecutive wins for the first time this season and will start for the seventh time in the last eight games for the Senators. After posting an ugly .865 SV% in his first three games (1-2-0), Korpisalo has quietly put together an impressive seven-game stretch (3-2-0), boasting a healthy .925 SV%. The Senators are slight -128 home favourites as they face off against the Detroit Red Wings in Sweden as part of the NHL Global Series. The Red Wings have lost three of their last five (2-2-1) but continue to rank in the top five of the league in terms of goal-scoring (3.67 GF / GP).

Jokiharju (illness) will not play against the Bruins on Tuesday.
Jokiharju was a late scratch from Tuesday's game, with Sabres head coach Don Granato only hinting that "someone" was feeling under the weather when talking to the media earlier in the day. Jokiharju is off to a relatively productive start to his 2023-24 season, registering two goals and five assists across the first 15 games. Ryan Johnson will draw into the lineup in place of Jokiharju.
Line Change
Ian Mitchell will be a healthy scratch Tuesday vs. Buffalo.
Line Change
Oliver Wahlstrom will draw back into the Islanders' lineup Monday vs. Edmonton.
Wahlstrom, along with Julien Gauthier, will draw back into the Islanders lineup on Monday as Matt Martin and Hudson Fasching will both be healthy scratches. Wahlstrom, who will likely skate on the third line alongside Anders Lee and Jean-Gabriel Pageau, has only one point (1G / 0A) in seven games this season.
Line Change
Peeke is not on the ice for warmups and is not expected to play in New York on Sunday.
Tufte was reassigned to the Colorado Eagles (AHL) on Sunday.

Swayman is expected to start Saturday in Montreal.
Line Change
McAvoy has served his four-game suspension and is expected to play on Saturday.
McAvoy was suspended for four games following a hit to the head on October 30th but he's eligible to return to the lineup vs. Montreal. McAvoy was back on the top power-play unit in Friday's practice and enters play with eight points (2G / 6A) in nine games this season.
Goalie Start
Korpisalo is expected to start Saturday vs. the Flames.
Korpisalo allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Senators win in Toronto on Wednesday. The win snapped a two-game losing skid for Korpisalo, who has given up at least three goals in six of eight starts this season (.902 SV%). On Saturday, he'll face a Flames team that lost in a shootout in Toronto last night and have dropped seven of their last nine games.
Jakub Lauko (upper body) is expected to return Saturday vs. Montreal.
Lauko is set to return for the Bruins on Saturday after missing the last seven games with a facial fracture. On October 24th, Lauko took a skate to the face and was forced to leave the game after playing 9:13. The Czech forward has zero points, six shots, and a -4 plus/minus rating through six games this season.
Parker Wotherspoon has been reassigned to Providence (AHL).
Wotherspoon recorded one point (0G / 1A), averaging 13:51 time-on-ice in three games with the Bruins. His reassignment to Providence (AHL) signals the team will welcome back Charlie McAvoy from his four-game suspension on Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens.
Lauko (upper-body) will not play against the Islanders on Thursday.
Lauko unfortunately took a skate to the face vs. Chicago on October 24th and has missed the last six games before being activated from the injured reserve Thursday. The 23-year-old centre had struggled prior to his injury, as he is pointless with six SOG, six PIMs and a -4 plus/minus through six games so far this season.
Morgan Geekie (upper body) has been placed on the injured reserve.
Geekie finished Monday night's contest against the Dallas Stars but suffered an upper-body injury at some point that will keep him out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis and has been placed on the injured reserve. Geekie is averaging a career-high 14:15 time-on-ice through 12 games this season, tallying three points (1G / 2A). The Bruins, who have several long-term injuries at the moment, will hope to welcome back Jakub Lauko in the near future.
