The Bruins are 7-3-0 in their last 10, but have lost two straight and hope to return to the win column with Swayman tending the twine on Friday against the Los Angeles Kings. Swayman was solid in his most recent outing, saving 29 of 32 shots (.906 SV%), but lost 3-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes. After a shaky start to the season, the 26-year-old Swayman has a 2.50 GAA and .920 SV% in his last six games (5-1-0). The Bruins enter Friday's contest as +172 road underdogs against a Kings team that played last night and lost 4-3 to the San Jose Sharks in a shootout.

Jeffrey Viel (undisclosed) will not play on Friday, allowing Tufte to re-enter the lineup. Tufte made his season debut for Boston earlier this week and scored a goal. The 27-year-old Tufte has 16 points (8G / 8A) in 13 games with the Providence Bruins (AHL) this season.

Viel is averaging 10:00 time-on-ice and has yet to score a point in eight games this season. He heads the sidelined due to an undisclosed injury. Riley Tufte will draw into the lineup as Viel's replacement.

The Bruins have played well lately, with wins in eight of their last 10 (8-2-0), but are battling through a myriad of injuries. The team will turn to Korpisalo between the pipes on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks. The 31-year-old Korpisalo has had an up-and-down 2025-26 campaign, posting a subpar 3.35 GAA and .878 SV% in eight outings (4-4-0). The Bruins enter Wednesday's contest as +150 road underdogs against a Ducks team coming off an exciting 3-2 overtime victory over the Utah Mammoth.

McAvoy exited Boston's 3-2 win over Montreal on Saturday after only 13:41 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury and has not played since. The 27-year-old defenseman successfully underwent surgery on Wednesday, but it's unclear when he will return and if this will impact his availability for the upcoming winter Olympics. He has 14 points (0G / 14A) through 19 games this season.

Jeffrey Viel will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Anaheim Ducks, sending Tufte to the sidelines as a healthy scratch.

With Charlie McAvoy (upper-body) not heading with the Bruins on their upcoming road trip, Michael Callahan has been recalled from Providence (AHL) for defensive reinforcements. The 26-year-old has already spent some time with the Bruins' this season, appearing in three games and picking up a -2 plus/minus while averaging just 16:27 TOI.

McAvoy exited Boston's 3-2 win over Montreal on Saturday after only 13:41 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury and has not played since.

Lindholm has not played since the end of October, but is drawing closer to a return, possibly on the Bruins' upcoming four-game road trip. The 30-year-old Lindholm has nine points (4G / 5A) in 13 games this season and should reclaim his spot on the team's top powerplay unit when he returns.

The red-hot Bruins are 8-2-0 in their last 10 and will turn to Swayman on Monday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 26-year-old Swayman started the season with an ugly 3.40 GAA and .886 SV% in seven games (3-4-0), but has been outstanding since, posting a 2.40 GAA and .923 SV% in five games (5-0-0).
