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. 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.
Eyssimont will return to the Bolts' lineup on Tuesday after serving as a healthy scratch for Monday's game in Toronto. In 11 games this season, Eyssimont has registered three goals, one assist, and 21 shots on goal with an ATOI 10:25.
Eyssimont will be the odd-man out on Monday as Tyler Motte (upper-body) returns and Austin Watson retains his place in the lineup. In 11 games this season, Eyssimont has registered three goals, one assist, and 21 shots on goal with an ATOI 10:25.
Swayman has been other-worldly this season, leading all goalies that have made at least four appearances, with a 1.38 GAA and .954 SV%, as he prepares for his sixth start of the season on Monday. Swayman has yet to lose (5-0-0) and is a big reason why the Bruins are off to a 9-1-1 start. The Bruins, who are coming off their first regulation loss of the season, are +128 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team that, similar to the Bruins, ranks in the bottom half of league offence (2.90 GF / GP) and top five in defence (2.50 GA / GP).
Peeke will play his second game of the season for the Blue Jackets as David Jiricek is expected to be a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Peeke was a regular in the Blue Jackets lineup the last two seasons, playing 162 games and tallying 28 points (8G / 20A). He skated next to Ivan Provorov at practice on the Blue Jackets' second defensive pairing.
Korpisalo will man the Senators' crease for a fourth-straight start after dropping their previous contest after allowing three goals on 38 shots (.921 SV%) but will likely start Saturday vs. Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old signed a five-year contract in the offseason and has struggled early with his 2-4-0 record, .906 SV% and 3.19 GAA. He takes on the Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday, who have lost their last two contests but are ninth in the NHL in goals per game (3.4).
Kastelic left the Senators' previous game vs. Los Angeles due to a high ankle sprain after just 2:45 TOI and is not expected back anytime soon as he is out indefinitely. The 24-year-old grinder has yet to pick up a point this season but has eight SOG, 21 PIMs, and a -2 plus/minus in nine games played while averaging only 6:55 TOI.

Korpisalo was on the ball in his previous start as he stopped 41 of 43 shots (.953 SV%) to snap a two-game losing streak as he beat Pittsburgh and will likely take the crease Thursday after occupying the starter's crease at morning skate. After signing a five-year, $20 million contract in the offseason he has struggled early and is 2-3-0 with a .903 SV% and 3.22 GAA. He takes on his old team in Los Angeles, whose offense is in tact as they are currently leading the NHL in goals per game (4.33)
Swayman returns to the Bruins' crease after backing up last game and will look to keep his four-game win streak in tact vs. Toronto. The 24-year-old has been sensational yet again this season, with his 4-0-0 record, .957 SV% and 1.26 GAA. He draws Toronto at home Thursday, who is looking to snap a two-game losing streak and are 13th in the NHL in goals per game (3.22).

It's the first missed game of the young season for Zadorov. The 28-year-old blue-liner has no goals, two assists and 19 hits through his opening nine games. Jordan Oesterle will draw back into the lineup in place of Zadorov.
Lohrei is likely to make his NHL debut on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Lohrei was one of three defensemen recalled by Boston from Providence (AHL), along with Ian Mitchell and Parker Wotherspoon, as they will be without regulars Matt Grzelcyk (upper-body) and Charlie McAvoy (suspension). Lohrei was the Bruins' 58th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and has four points (0G / 4A) in seven games at the AHL level this season.
The hit occurred in the third period of Monday's game against the Panthers. McAvoy received a match penalty on the play and was ejected from the game. It's the second suspension of McAvoy's after he was previously suspended one game for an illegal hit to the head on then Columbus Blue Jackets forward Josh Anderson in Game Six of the 2019 Eastern Conference Semi-finals. He will be eligible to return on October 11th in Montreal.
After a terrific start to the AHL season with the Colorado Eagles, recording eight points (6G / 2A) in six games, Tufte has been recalled by the Avalanche.

He is expected to make his Avalanche debut on Wednesday playing on a line with Ryan Johansen and Valeri Nichushkin.

Korpisalo allowed three goals on 38 shots in the Senators loss to the Islanders on Thursday. While it was an encouraging performance, Korpisalo still has just one win in four appearances this season. He draws a tough assignment on Saturday in Pittsburgh--the Penguins are top-10 in xGF/60 (3.38) this season.
Swayman stopped all 23 shots that he faced in the Bruins' shutout win in Chicago on Tuesday. Swayman and Linus Ullmark have alternated starts to begin the season and tonight Swayman will face a Red Wings team that got off to a quick start but have dropped their last two games (1-0-1).
