Eyssimont will be a healthy scratch against the Maple Leafs on Monday.

Eyssimont will be the odd-man out on Monday as Tyler Motte (upper-body) returns and Austin Watson retains his place in the lineup. In 11 games this season, Eyssimont has registered three goals, one assist, and 21 shots on goal with an ATOI 10:25.

Jeremy Swayman will start Monday vs. Dallas.

Swayman has been other-worldly this season, leading all goalies that have made at least four appearances, with a 1.38 GAA and .954 SV%, as he prepares for his sixth start of the season on Monday. Swayman has yet to lose (5-0-0) and is a big reason why the Bruins are off to a 9-1-1 start. The Bruins, who are coming off their first regulation loss of the season, are +128 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team that, similar to the Bruins, ranks in the bottom half of league offence (2.90 GF / GP) and top five in defence (2.50 GA / GP).

Andrew Peeke will draw back into the Blue Jackets' lineup vs. Florida.

Peeke will play his second game of the season for the Blue Jackets as David Jiricek is expected to be a healthy scratch. The 25-year-old Peeke was a regular in the Blue Jackets lineup the last two seasons, playing 162 games and tallying 28 points (8G / 20A). He skated next to Ivan Provorov at practice on the Blue Jackets' second defensive pairing.

Joonas Korpisalo will start Saturday vs. Tampa.

Korpisalo will man the Senators' crease for a fourth-straight start after dropping their previous contest after allowing three goals on 38 shots (.921 SV%) but will likely start Saturday vs. Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old signed a five-year contract in the offseason and has struggled early with his 2-4-0 record, .906 SV% and 3.19 GAA. He takes on the Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday, who have lost their last two contests but are ninth in the NHL in goals per game (3.4).

The 24-year-old grinder has yet to pick up a point this season but has eight SOG, 21 PIMs, and a -2 plus/minus in nine games played while averaging only 6:55 TOI.
