Boston Bruins News

The Bruins are amid an eight-game losing skid and will hope for a better result on Tuesday, with Swayman tending the twine against the Washington Capitals. The 26-year-old Swayman was serviceable in his most recent outing but did not receive ample goal support, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 2-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. He has a 3.10 GAA and .893 SV% in 52 games this season (20-26-6). The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +182 home underdogs against a Capitals team coming off a disappointing 8-5 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

McAvoy has not played since suffering an injury at the 4Nations Face-Off, but was skating in a non-contact jersey since last week, and has upgraded to a full-contact practice on Monday. The 27-year-old had seven goals, 23 points, 98 SOG and 46 PIMs in 50 games to start the season. The Bruins have eight games remaining this season and it's unclear when McAvoy could return to the lineup.

The 29-year-old Zadorov is averaging 20:33 time-on-ice, recording 17 points (4G / 13A), a +14 plus/minus, 96 blocks, 183 hits, and 135 penalty minutes in 72 games this season.

Jeannot exited Tuesday's 3-1 win over the New York Rangers and will not play on Thursday, day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old Jeannot has 13 points (7G / 6A) and 211 hits in 67 games this season.

Jeremy Swayman allowed seven goals in the Bruins' previous game, resulting in the club turning to Korpisalo between the pipes on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks.
