Boston Bruins News

After a miserable 2024-25 season, posting a 3.11 GAA and .892 SV% in 58 games (22-29-7), Swayman has returned to the form of the goalie that Boston awarded an eight-year contract extension to, posting a 2.74 GAA and .909 SV% through 22 outings this season (14-8-0). The 27-year-old American goalie has allowed two or fewer goals in seven of his last nine games (6-3-0), posting a.920 SV%. The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as +117 home underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team that has scored four or more goals in five of their last seven games (5-1-1).

Jeannot has played every game this season, but could be at risk of missing Thursday's game against the Edmonton Oilers due to an illness. The 28-year-old Jeannot is producing at his best offensive rate since his rookie season. He has 14 points (3G / 11A) and 100 hits in 34 games.

Aspirot has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on December 11th and has retroactively been placed on Injured Reserve. The 26-year-old defenseman, in his first NHL season, has one goal in 19 games.

Swayman has largely rebounded after a forgettable 2024-25 season, but has battled some adversity lately, allowing five or more goals in two of his last four games (2-2-0). The 27-year-old American goalie has a 2.83 GAA and .908 SV% in 21 games this season (13-8-0). The Bruins enter Tuesday's action as slight +103 home underdogs against a Utah Mammoth team that has scored five goals in each of its last two games (2-0-0).

Vancouver acquired Lukas Reichel from Chicago for a 2027 4th round pick earlier this season, but his tenure with the Canucks organization is seemingly already nearing an end. Reichel cleared waivers and will report to the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) while the team will reportedly attempt to facilitate a trade. The 23-year-old Reichel recorded one assist in 14 games with Vancouver.

The Bruins have had trouble staying healthy this season, with new players being injured seemingly as soon as another returns to the lineup. Arvidsson has already missed seven games this season due to injuries and returns to the sidelines with a lower-body ailment. The 32-year-old Arvidsson has been productive in a middle-six role for the Bruins this season, tallying 14 points (7G / 7A) and 65 shots in 25 games.

McAvoy has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on November 15th and has undergone a challenging recovery, but will return on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. He returned to practice on Monday and will likely be reinserted onto the Bruins' top powerplay unit upon his return. The 27-year-old McAvoy was having a productive season before his injury, despite not scoring a goal, but tallying 14 assists through 19 games.

The Bruins are on a three-game winning streak and will turn to Korpisalo on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 31-year-old Korpisalo was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 37 of 39 shots (.949 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Blues. That said, he has been inconsistent this season, posting a 3.38 GAA and .888 SV% in 12 appearances (5-6-0).

Pastrnak has been incredibly resilient for the Bruins, playing all 82 games in the previous three seasons, and will now return to the lineup after missing five games due to an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old elite Czech forward has 29 points (11G / 18A) in 25 games, factoring in on 37 percent of Boston's goals before his injury.

The Bruins will look to extend their winning streak to three games with Swayman tending the twine on Tuesday against the St. Louis Blues.

He has a 2.70 GAA and .913 SV% in 19 games this season (12-7-0). The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +112 road underdogs against a Blues team on a two-game winning streak.
