Soderstrom was recalled from the Tuscon Roadrunners on Tuesday, a move prompted by Matt Dumba exiting Monday night's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins with an upper-body injury. Soderstrom was the 11th overall pick of the Coyotes in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and has spent this entirety of the season in the AHL, recording 21 points (8G / 13A) in 38 games.
Linus Ullmark returned from a lower-body injury in Saturday's 9-4 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, but the Bruins will rotate back to Swayman on Monday night. Swayman has allowed two or fewer goals in four of his last five starts (3-0-2), posting a stellar .929 SV%. The Bruins have won four straight and are -135 home favourites against a Winnipeg Jets team leading the Central division and have won nine of their last 10 (9-1-0).
Kastelic will sit on Sunday to make room for Shane Pinto's return to the lineup. Kastelic has one goal and one assist in 27 games this season.
Jokiharju played the last two games after missing the previous two but returns to the sidelines with a day-to-day prognosis due to soreness. In his last two games, Jokiharju has averaged over 19 minutes on ice while tallying seven shots and four hits.
Poitras has missed three straight games with a shoulder injury. In three games since returning from the World Junior Tournament, Poitras has been held without a shot on goal but has two points (0G / 2A).
Korpisalo recorded a win in his last contest, snapping a five-game losing streak, and will start on Thursday, hoping to record consecutive wins for the first time since mid-November. The 29-year-old goaltender has struggled lately, a byproduct of a poor Senators team, winning only twice in his last 12 appearances (2-9-0), posting an abysmal .862 SV%. That said, the Senators are sizeable -180 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that played last night, defeating the New Jersey Devils 3-2.
Poitras has missed three straight games but could return to the lineup on Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche. In three games since returning from the World Junior Tournament, Poitras has been held without a shot on goal but has two points (0G / 2A).
Linus Ullmark has been cleared to play, likely ending Swayman's control of the crease, but the Bruins will start Swayman for the fourth straight game on Thursday. Swayman was outstanding in his last outing, saving all 31 shots he faced in a 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils for his third shutout of the season. Swayman and the Bruins will be tested on Thursday despite being -146 home favourites against the Colorado Avalanche, who have scored four or more goals in seven of their last eight games (6-2-0).

Wahlstrom will re-enter the lineup after being a healthy scratch for Monday's game in Minnesota. He has two goals and three assists in 21 games this season.
Zacha makes his return to the lineup after a one-game absence due to an illness, replacing John Beecher. Zacha has three points (0G / 3A), including two on the powerplay, in his last four games.
Zacha did not play on Saturday due to an illness but could return to the Bruins' lineup on Monday afternoon. If he is unable to play again, expect James van Riemsdyk to be on the top powerplay unit as he was on Saturday.
Swayman will continue his reign as the starting goalie for the Bruins with Linus Ullmark out of the lineup, starting his third straight game on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. Swayman snapped a four-game losing skid on Saturday with a 20-save performance (.870 SV%) in a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues.
Jokiharju will re-enter the lineup for the Sabres on Monday afternoon as Mattias Samuelsson cannot play due to an upper-body injury. Jokiharju last played on January 9th and has registered three or more hits in three of his last four games.
