The Bruins have assigned Mason Lohrei to Providence (AHL).

Lohrei played very well in his first taste of the NHL, recording four points (1G / 3A), 17 SOG and a minus-3 rating in 10 games. He gets sent to the AHL along with Patrick Brown in order to make room for Matt Grzelcyk to be activated from LTIR ahead of Saturday's game.

Jeremy Swayman will start Friday vs. Detroit.

Swayman will start Friday afternoon, the front end of a back-to-back for the Bruins. Swayman has struggled his last three games (1-0-2), posting a .895 SV% and allowing 10 goals in the process. That said, the Bruins are -186 home favourites despite losing to the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 on November 4th with Linus Ullmark between the pipes.

Joonas Korpisalo (undisclosed) did not practice Friday and is expected to be out vs. the New York Islanders.

Korpisalo appears to still be nursing an undisclosed injury that kept him from dressing in the second game of the NHL Global Series in Sweden on November 18th. The Senators have recalled Mads Sogaard to serve as the backup to Anton Forsberg in the interim. The Senators will hope Korpisalo can return soon as he was finally starting to find his footing this season, posting a 4-2-0 record and a .921 SV% in his last eight appearances.

Alexander Steeves has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

Steeves has been enjoying an excellent start to his 2023-24 season in Toronto (AHL) with 11 goals, seven assists, six PIMs, and a -2 plus/minus through 14 games played and has been recalled to the Maple Leafs Thursday. The 23-year-old has six career NHL games under his belt and has an assist and five SOG while averaging only 7:55 TOI.

Jordan Harris (lower body) was placed on the injured reserve will be out indefinitely.

Harris joins the Canadiens' already lengthy list of injured players as it was announced Tuesday that he would be out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old defensive defenseman has yet to find the back of the net this season with no goals, three assists, 12 SOG, eight PIMs, and a -7 plus/minus in 16 games prior to his injury.

Swayman will start in Tampa Bay on Monday.

Swayman allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Bruins' win over the Canadiens on Saturday. Swayman starting on Monday would be the first time that a Bruins' goalie has started in consecutive games this season, as they've stuck to a strict alternating schedule through the first 16 games. Swayman has been nothing short of spectacular this season, going 7-0-1 with a 1.73 GAA (1st in the NHL), and .941 SV% (1st) in eight games. On Monday he'll face a Lightning team that has had an up-and-down season so far, but rank eighth in the NHL in goals per/60 (3.47).

Swayman will start against the Canadiens on Saturday.

Swayman will be back between the pipes on Saturday after Linus Ullmark got the nod in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Sabres. Swayman has picked up right where he left off last season, owning a league best .944 SV% and 1.69 GAA to go along with his sparkling 6-0-1 record. The Canadiens will be hard-pressed to deliver Swayman his first regulation loss of the season on Saturday, with Swayman and the Bruins currently being favoured at -260 to pick up the victory.

Korpisalo led the Senators onto the ice for warmups.

Korpisalo has consecutive wins for the first time this season and will start for the seventh time in the last eight games for the Senators. After posting an ugly .865 SV% in his first three games (1-2-0), Korpisalo has quietly put together an impressive seven-game stretch (3-2-0), boasting a healthy .925 SV%. The Senators are slight -128 home favourites as they face off against the Detroit Red Wings in Sweden as part of the NHL Global Series. The Red Wings have lost three of their last five (2-2-1) but continue to rank in the top five of the league in terms of goal-scoring (3.67 GF / GP).

Jokiharju (illness) will not play against the Bruins on Tuesday.

Jokiharju was a late scratch from Tuesday's game, with Sabres head coach Don Granato only hinting that "someone" was feeling under the weather when talking to the media earlier in the day. Jokiharju is off to a relatively productive start to his 2023-24 season, registering two goals and five assists across the first 15 games. Ryan Johnson will draw into the lineup in place of Jokiharju.
