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).

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.

Johnson last played on December 31st and has been on injured reserve since, missing 14 games with a foot injury. The 33-year-old veteran has been one of many injured regulars for the Blackhawks this season but appears ready to return to the lineup on Wednesday. Johnson started the season well with nine goals, 13 points, 16 PIMsand 58 SOG in 35 games played before the injury.

Arber Xhekaj will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday, prompting the Canadiens to make Harris a healthy scratch. Harris played 16:20 time-on-ice in his last outing and recorded two penalty minutes and one hit.

Poitras missed the Bruins' previous game before the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury but, despite being a full participant in practice Sunday, will remain out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames. 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.

Despite being active at the All-Star game over the weekend, the Bruins will return to Swayman to tend the twine on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Swayman is having a stellar season, highlighted by a five-game winning streak where he has allowed three or fewer goals in each game and posted an excellent .944 SV%. The Bruins are sizeable -193 home favourites entering Tuesday's contest against the Calgary Flames.

The veteran winger has not played a game yet this season after being placed on injured reserve in mid-October. After several down seasons, Arvidsson has refound his game as a Los Angeles King, scoring 108 points (46G / 62A) in 143 games over the previous two seasons. He will return to practice on Thursday and could make his return to the Kings' lineup over the next few weeks.

Jeannot has not played since January 6th, missing nine games with an upper-body injury, but returned to practice on Monday. The 26-year-old Jeannot had been held off the scoresheet in eight straight games while recording only seven shots on goal before his injury.

Poitras missed the Bruins' previous game before the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury but was a full participant in practice Sunday and is expected to be ready to suit up when Boston takes on Calgary on Tuesday. 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.

With his contract set to expire at the end of this season, Elias Lindholm was long rumoured to be one of the top trade targets in the NHL this season, and that came to fruition on Wednesday when the Canucks acquired him in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, a pair of prospects, a first-round draft pick, and a conditional fourth-round draft pick. Lindholm had struggled to produce at his usual clip in Calgary this season, registering just nine goals and 23 assists in 49 games despite playing over 20 minutes a night. It's been reported that Lindholm did not agree to any sort of extension with Vancouver as part of the deal, so he does appear to be a rental for the time being. You can expect him to centre one of Vancouver's top two lines, though we likely won't get an official projected lineup until after the All-Star break.

Korpisalo was excellent in relief of Mads Sogaard on Monday, saving all 17 shots he faced in a 4-3 overtime victory over the Nashville Predators. Korpisalo has had a forgettable season but has played better lately, allowing three or fewer goals in five of his last six outings (3-1-2), posting a respectable .910 SV%. That said, the Senators are slight -101 road underdogs on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings, winners of two straight, outscoring their opposition 8-2.
