Peeke has been a healthy scratch for the Blue Jackets' previous two games but with Columbus switching to 11F/7D on Tuesday will draw back into the lineup for Kirill Marchenko.

Swayman will start in Toronto on Monday.

The struggling Bruins, losers of eight of their last 11 (3-3-5), will turn to Swayman between the pipes on Monday evening. Swayman owns the only three wins for the Bruins in four weeks but has struggled during that time as well.

The Czech forward has struggled to stay consistent offensively this season, scoring only three points (0G / 3A) in his last 11 games.

Korpisalo is in the starter's crease at Friday's morning skate.

After starting three consecutive games backing up Anton Forsberg, Korpisalo will likely return to the crease for the second straight game on Friday. Korpisalo allowed four goals on 36 shots (.889 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Tuesday and is winless in his last four starts (0-3-1), allowing three or more goals in each. The Senators enter action on Friday as -186 home favourites against an Arizona Coyotes club riding an unprecedented 14-game losing skid (0-12-2).

Peeke will draw back into the Blue Jackets' lineup on Thursday vs. Carolina.

Peeke last appeared for the Blue Jackets on January 30th but will make his first appearance in nearly a month as he replaces Adam Boqvist on Columbus' blue line Thursday. The 25-year-old has yet to score this season but has six assists, 21 SOG and a -4 plus/minus in the 20 games that he has dressed.

Swayman will start Thursday vs. the Golden Knights.

Swayman will return to the crease on Thursday for a Bruins team amid a three-game losing skid. Swayman allowed three goals on 39 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks in his last outing and has allowed three or more goals in five of his last six (2-3-1). That said, the Bruins are -158 home favourites against the Vegas Golden Knights, who defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-2 on Tuesday.

Lauko will draw back into the Bruins' lineup on Thursday vs. Vegas.

Lauko has only played two of the last eight games for the Bruins but will re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 23-year-old Lauko has seven points (2G / 5A) and 113 hits in 41 games this season.

Korpisalo will start on Tuesday in Nashville.

Korpisalo will take back the crease on Tuesday after Anton Forsberg gave up six in a loss to Washington in the first part of Ottawa's back-to-back on Monday. The 29-year-old goalie's -14.6 GSAx is far and away the worst among all goalies in the NHL and is a dark spot after he signed a four-year, $20 million contract in the offseason. He will look to halt Nashville's surprising five-game winning streak as Ottawa heads to Bridgestone on Tuesday.
