Bussi was an undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan University. The 23-year-old netminder went 26-12-1 with a 2.54 GAA and .912 SV% in 39 games this season. He will report to Providence (AHL).
Johnson has missed the last six games with a concussion that he suffered in Ottawa on March 12th. Johnson will likely replace Reese Johnson in the lineup.
Bergeron missed the last four games after undergoing a procedure for an infection in his arm. He'll be back on the top line with Brad Marchand and Jake DeBrusk. Bergeron has picked up 10 points (5G / 5A) in his last 11 games.
Lindholm was acquired from the Ducks before the deadline, signed an eight-year extension with the Bruins on Sunday and is set to make his debut on Thursday. Lindholm will replace Mike Reilly in the lineup and skate on the top pair with Charlie McAvoy.
Bergeron returned to practice on Wednesday but has not been cleared to play on Thursday. Jack Studnicka will remain on the Bruins top line vs. the Lightning.
The Blue Jackets announced that it was an injury that Korpisalo has been dealing with "for some time" and that it has gotten to the point where "surgery is the best option." With Korpisalo out for the year and Elvis Merzlikins currently banged up as well, the Blue Jackets will turn to J-F Berube once again.
The recently signed McLaughlin did not appear in a game with Providence. He could make his NHL debut on Monday with Patrice Bergeron out and Jack Studnicka questionable.
Lindholm was acquired from the Ducks on Saturday night and is reportedly nearing an extension with his new team. He will not play Monday in Montreal but is expected to make his debut vs. the Lightning on Thursday.
Bergeron will miss his third straight game on Monday and will be re-evaluated later in the week. The Bruins return to action vs. the Lightning on home-ice on Thursday, so monitor Bergeorn's status heading into that game.
Johnson's move to IR is retroactive to March 12th, so he's eligible to return whenever he's back to 100 percent. In addition to Johnson, Connor Murphy (concussion) was also placed on IR on Friday.
Bergeron was returned to Boston to have his arm treated, so he'll miss the last two games of the Bruins' road trip. Jack Studnicka was recalled from Providence (AHL) this morning and will take his spot in the lineup.
