Boston Bruins News

The Bruins will roll with Swayman for a third consecutive game on Thursday when they visit the Edmonton Oilers. Swayman has an unimpressive 3.14 GAA and .887 SV% in 23 games this season (11-10-2) but has been better lately. The 26-year-old netminder allowed eight goals on 35 shots (.771 SV%) in a disastrous 8-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on December 10th but has otherwise not allowed more than three goals in a game in over a month (6-3-0). The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as +162 road underdogs against an Oilers club coming off a 6-5 loss to the Florida Panthers.

Swayman was solid in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks, saving 19 of 20 shots (.950 SV%), and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames. The 26-year-old Swayman has had an inconsistent 2024-25 campaign, with more bad than good, posting an ugly 3.16 GAA and .888 SV% in 22 games (10-10-2). That said, the Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as -128 road favorites against a Flames club coming off an impressive 3-0 win over the Florida Panthers.

Wahlstrom has been a regular in the lineup for the Islanders this season, playing 27 games, but has only scored four points (2G / 2A). Wahlstrom has regularly seen time in New York's top-nine, including powerplay deployment, but has struggled to live up to his 11th-overall draft selection from 2018.

Parker Wotherspoon will draw back into the lineup for the Bruins on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken, resulting in Lohrei being a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Lohrei has consistently been in the lineup this season, averaging 17:45 time-on-ice and scoring 12 points (1G / 11A) in 26 games.

Tyler Johnson will return from a five-game absence on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken, making McLaughlin the odd-man out as a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old McLaughlin has played six straight for the Bruins, averaging 9:46 time-on-ice and scoring zero points.

Mason Lohrei will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken, allowing Wotherspoon re-enter the lineup for the first time since November 29th. The 27-year-old Wotherspoon is averaging 15:51 time-on-ice and has zero points, 17 blocks, and 19 hits in 15 games this season.

Marc McLaughlin will be a healthy scratch on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken, allowing Johnson to return from a five-game absence. The 34-year-old Johnson is averaging 13:07 time-on-ice and has two points (0G / 2A) in eight games this season.

Jeremy Swayman allowed eight goals in Tuesday's one-side 8-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, and the Bruins will revert to Korpisalo between the pipes. The 30-year-old Korpisalo has a solid 2.40 GAA and .909 SV% in 10 appearances this season (6-2-1) but has been excellent lately, allowing three or fewer goals in six straight (5-0-1), posting a stellar .931 SV%. The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as slight -115 road favorites against a Seattle Kraken club with points in four of their last five (3-1-1).

The Bruins are riding a season-best four-game winning streak and will turn to Swayman between the pipes on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 26-year-old Swayman is sporting an unimpressive 3.02 GAA and .893 SV% in 20 games (9-9-2) but has been better lately, allowing three or fewer goals in six straight (4-2-0), posting a solid .918 SV%. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +117 road underdogs against a Jets club coming off a disappointing 4-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Pastrnak was not at practice on Monday but will be in the lineup when the Bruins visit the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Pastrnak has only scored one in his last 11 games but has been productive in the assist department, scoring 10 points (1G / 9A) in his last nine games with firing 33 shots on goal.

Pastrnak was not at practice on Monday and could be at risk of missing his first game of the season when the Bruins visit the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Pastrnak has only scored one in his last 11 games but has been productive in the assist department, scoring 10 points (1G / 9A) in his last nine games with firing 33 shots on goal.

Swayman will make his 19th start of the season when the Bruins travel to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks on Wednesday. Swayman picked up just his seventh win of the season his last time out, stopping 25 of the 28 shots he faced in a 6-3 victory over the Canadiens. Swayman has been in a bit of a groove of late after struggling mightily to begin the season, posting a .929 SV% across his last four starts. He's got a good chance of staying in the win column on Wednesday as the Bruins enter action at -150 on the money line.

Over the past few weeks, the Bruins have turned to Korpisalo once every three games, a trend that will continue on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. After a rough start to his tenure as a Bruin, allowing nine goals in his first two games (1-1-0) and posting a .850 SV%, Korpisalo has been solid, posting a .928 SV% in seven appearances since (4-1-1). The Bruins enter the action on Tuesday as -179 home favorites against a Red Wings club forced to turn to Ville Husso between the pipes as Cam Talbot and Alex Lyon are both sidelined with lower-body injuries.
