The Bruins have been liberal with their crease this season, giving Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo significant exposure. Korpisalo will likely tend the twine on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks, looking to improve on an uninspiring 3.36 GAA and .865 SV% in three games (1-2-0). The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as slight -108 home favorites against a Ducks team that exploded offensively in their most recent game, a 5-2 win over the Nashville Predators, after scoring only two goals in their previous two games (0-1-1).

Harris played 15:20 time-on-ice in Boston's 4-3 loss to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday and suffered an undisclosed injury, landing himself on Injured Reserve; sidelined for at least one week. The 25-year-old Harris has two points (1G / 1A) in five games this season. In a corresponding move, Boston recalled Michael Callahan from Providence (AHL).

Callahan made his NHL debut last season, scoring one goal in 17 games with Boston. The 26-year-old defenseman has primarily been an AHL player, but could be due for a more prominent NHL role this season if the injury to Jordan Harris (undisclosed) proves to significant.

Hampus Lindholm did not play on Sunday, supposedly given an extra day of maintenance after returning from an injury, but will now unexpectedly remain sidelined on Tuesday. Jordan Harris will exit the lineup to accommodate Lindholm's return

After a 3-0-0 start to the season, the Bruins have lost four straight (0-4-0) and hope to return to the win column on Tuesday with Swayman tending the twine against the Florida Panthers. Swayman has maintained a serviceable 2-2-0 record and been reliable between the pipes, posting a 2.76 GAA and .917 SV%. The 26-year-old netminder is coming off a 34-save performance (.919 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +134 home underdogs against a Panthers team also amid a four-game losing skid (0-4-0).

Khusnutdinov drew into Boston's lineup in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth and recorded one assist, but will be sent to the press box as a healthy scratch on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. The 23-year-old is averaging 10:39 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in five games this season.

Mittelstadt was a healthy scratch in Boston's most recent outing, but he will re-enter the lineup on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. The 26-year-old Mittelstadt is averaging 13:50 time-on-ice, the lowest total since his age-21 season. He has two points (2G / 0A) in six games this season.

After being a healthy scratch in consecutive games, Viel will re-enter the lineup on Monday against the Florida Panthers. The 28-year-old Viel played 11:50 time-on-ice and recorded a +2 plus/minus in his only game this season.

Lindholm has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury, but has a chance to return Saturday in Colorado. Lindholm was skating on the second pairing and PP2 in the morning skate, a sign that he'll be in the lineup this evening.

The Bruins are coming off their first loss of the season (3-1-0), but Swayman remains perfect and will return to the crease on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. After a forgetful 2024-25 season, the 26-year-old Swayman is off to a hot start in 2025-26, posting a 1.00 GAA and .966 SV% through two games (2-0-0). Still, the Bruins enter Thursday's contest as +198 road underdogs against a Golden Knights team that has scored 14 goals through their first four games (2-0-2).
