Lindholm left Monday's game after 18:09 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will be evaluated on Tuesday to declare the extent of his injury. The 30-year-old defenseman is a key piece in Boston's impressive defensive unit and has a goal, 18 assists, 73 SOG, 54 PIMs and a +19 plus/minus through 57 games this season.

Brazeau is an undrafted 26-year-old who has made his mark with the Providence Bruins of the AHL over the past two seasons, earning himself a two-year, two-way contract on Monday morning. In 49 games with Providence this season, Brazeau has 37 points (18G / 19A).

As has been the case most of the season, the Bruins will continue to alternate goalies and turn to Swayman on Monday after Ullmark played on Saturday. Swayman has a sub-.900 SV% in two of his last three games (0-3-0), a rarity for the All-Star netminder. The Bruins are -134 home favourites against a Dallas Stars club without their number one defenceman Miro Heiskanen (personal).

Wotherspoon continues to rotate with Kevin Shattenkirk as the former will take a seat on Thursday. Wotherspoon has no goals and three assists in 22 games this year.

As has been the case most of the season, Swayman will tend the twine on Thursday, replacing Linus Ullmark, the starter in the Bruins' previous contest. Swayman has lost consecutive games in regulation, a first-time occurrence for the All-Star netminder, allowing six goals on 57 shots and posting an uncharacteristically low .895 SV%. That said, the Bruins are -181 home favourites against a Seattle Kraken club with only three wins in their last 10 games (3-6-1).

Korpisalo had the night off on Tuesday, a 6-3 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, but will return to the crease on Thursday as the Senators attempt to extend their four-game winning streak. Korpisalo has been excellent lately, winning three straight while allowing three or fewer goals in each and posting a .935 SV%. The Senators are sizeable -202 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks squad that was limited to only 13 shots on goal in their last contest, a 5-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

Wotherspoon is the odd man out of Boston's lineup Tuesday as they take on Tampa Bay and Kevin Shattenkirk draws back in. The 26-year-old Wotherspoon has yet to score this season but has been strong defensively and has three assists, 13 PIMs and a +2 plus/minus through 22 games this year.

Jones has not played since January 5th, missing 12 games with an upper-body injury, but will return to the lineup on Friday against the Edmonton Oilers. In 34 games this season, the 25-year-old Jones has eight points (4G / 4A).

Even though Anton Forsberg is returning from injury Saturday, Joonas Korpisalo will man the crease for a second straight start after winning his previous contest in a 23-save (.920 SV%) effort. The 29-year-old has struggled in his inaugural season in the Nation's Capital, with his 12-16-2 record, 3.38 GAA and .889 SV%. He will take on Toronto in the battle of Ontario on Saturday, who have won four of their last five contests and are sixth in the NHL in goals per game (3.45).

Kevin Shattenkirk will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Wotherspoon to re-enter the lineup. Wotherspoon did not play in the Bruins' return to action from the All-Star break on Tuesday but played in their previous two games, recording five hits while averaging just under 18 minutes of ice time.

Poitras missed the Bruins' previous game before the All-Star break due to the injury and did practice in full on Sunday, but the team and Poitras have opted for surgery to repair his injured shoulder, bringing a premature end to his rookie season. The 19-year-old rookie left the Bruins briefly in December to attend this year's World Jr Tournament and has made a solid impact in his rookie season with five goals and 15 points in 33 games played.
