This will be Peeke's first NHL game since April 19th. Peeke has four assists in seven AHL games and three assists in nine NHL games in 2021. Overall, he has one goal and five assists in 31 career NHL games.
Coyle is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, so look for Karson Kuhlman to replace him in the lineup. Coyle should be considered questionable for Saturday's rematch vs. the Rangers.
Frederic was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Karson Kuhlman on the fourth line on Tuesday. Frederic has tallied just four goals with one assist in 38 games this season.
Carlo has been sidelined since April 3rd but will return to the lineup on Tuesday. Carlo will replace Kevan Miller, who sits in the second half of a back-o-back. Carlo has two goals and one assist in 23 games this season.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy said that Carlo and Kevan Miller will each play a game in the back-to-back in New Jersey but won't play the same game. So Carlo will be back in either Monday or Tuesday but won't play both. It seems more likely that Miller will dress Monday and sit out Tuesday, clearing the way for Carlo.
Frederick has suited up in the last two games but will be replaced by Jake DeBrusk in the lineup on Saturday.
Viel has played a limited role on the Sharks' fourth line in his limited action in 2021. He replaced Kevin Labanc on Monday but the two will swap spots on Wednesday with Labanc recovered from an undisclosed injury.
Tuesday will be Frederic's first game since April 6th, as he draws in to replace Jake DeBrusk in the Bruins' bottom-6. Frederic is a big, physical force but has scored just four goals with one assist in 36 games this season.
Korpisalo suffered a lower-body injury in the third period of Sunday's loss in Tampa. With Korpisalo out for the rest of the season, Elvis Merzlikins will become the No.1 netminder and Matiss Kivlenieks comes up from the AHL to serve as the No.2.
