Boston made one of the biggest free agent splashes on Monday as it signed forward Elias Lindholm to a seven-year deal worth $54.25 million ($7.75M AAV). The 29-year-old will join his third team in two seasons after a down year in 2023-24, with his 15 goals, 44 points, 25 PIMs and -14 plus/minus in 75 games played between Calgary and Vancouver.

The Kings have acquired Tanner Jeannot from the Lightning for a 2024 4th Round Pick and a 2025 2nd Round Pick.

Jeannot's tenure in Tampa Bay is over after one and a half seasons after he was dealt to Los Angeles for a 2024 4th Round Pick and a 2025 2nd Round Pick on Saturday. The 27-year-old scrappy winger will join his third NHL team after putting up seven goals, 14 points, 75 PIMs and a -10 plus/minus in 55 games with Tampa Bay in 2023-24.

The Avalanche signed Casey Mittelstadt to a three-year contract worth $17.25 million ($5.75M AAV).

Mittelstadt was flipped for Bowen Byram on March 6th and had 10 points (4G / 6A) in 18 games with the Avalanche following the deal. He looked much better in the postseason, where he had nine points (3G / 6A) in 11 games. The 25-year-old should continue to serve as the Avalanche's No.2 centre behind Nathan MacKinnon in the 2024-25 season and has back-to-back 55-plus point seasons.

The Bruins have acquired Mark Kastelic, Joonas Korpisalo and the No.25 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft from the Senators for Linus Ullmark.

Kastelic is a big (6-2, 210 lbs), rugged forward who will fit into the Bruins' bottom-6 in 2024-25. During the 2023-24 season, Kastelic had 10 points (5G / 5A), 126 hits and 31 blocked shots in 63 games with the Senators.

The Bruins have acquired Joonas Korpisalo, Mark Kastelic and the No.25 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft from the Senators for Linus Ullmark.

Korpisalo signed a five-year deal with a $4.0M AAV last July 1st but struggled to live up to his cap-hit in his first year with the Senators. The 29-year-old net minder went 21-26-4 with a 3.27 GAA and .890 SV% in 55 games (49 starts) and gets moved to Boston, where he'll serve as the backup to Jeremy Swayman if he isn't traded again or bought-out. The Senators retained 25 percent ($1.0M AAV) of Korpisalo's contract.

Swayman will start Game 4 on Sunday vs. Florida.

Swayman was not on the ice for Boston's optional morning skate and is presumably their starter again for Game 4 on Sunday vs. Florida. The 25-year-old has dropped Boston's previous two games but still has a sensational playoff record with his 5-4-0 record, 2.45 GAA and .919 SV%. He will look to even up the Bruins' round two series at home on Sunday vs. Florida. who has won six of their last eight playoff games.

Swayman is expected to start Game 3 vs. the Panthers.

Swayman was pulled after allowing four goals on 23 shots in the Bruins' blowout loss in Florida in Game 2. It was Swayman's worst showing of the postseason but the Bruins are expected to come right back to him in Game 3. That's not a huge surprise, as Swayman has been splendid through eight starts so far, going 5-3 with a 1.81 GAA and playoff best .942 SV%.

Swayman will start Game 2 on Wednesday vs. Florida.

Swayman continued his sensational postseason by stopping 38 of 39 shots (.974 SV%) in a 4-1 victory over Florida in Game 1 and is expected to take the crease after being the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate. The 25-year-old has put the Bruins' on his back in the playoffs, with his 5-2-0 record, 1.42 GAA and .955 SV%.

Swayman led the Bruins onto the ice for warmups for Game 1.

Swayman was sensational in the Bruins' hard-fought opening series vs. Toronto, posting a ridiculous .950 SV%, 1.49 GAA and 4-2-0 record as Boston won in seven games. The 25-year-old will unsurprisingly take the crease for Game 1 of their second series on Monday. Florida is coming off a relatively easy opening series win over Tampa Bay, who they closed out in five games.
