Krejci took a hearing-worthy high stick in Thursday night's victory from Michael Rasmussen of the Detroit Red Wings. The 36-year-old veteran had been enjoying a resurgent return to the NHL after taking last season off, collecting eight points (2G/6A) in his first eight games back.
Arvidsson was scratched right before game time Tuesday due to illness. He will return Thursday to try and build off his three points (1G/2A) and 11 SOG through his first six games to start the season.
Korpisalo will head to Cleveland (AHL) for a conditioning start vs. Syracuse Saturday. From there it is expected that the 28-year-old will head up to Columbus to back up Elvis Merzlikins. Through seven career seasons, he has 76 wins in 164 starts while posting a .902 SV% and 3.04 GAA.
Johnson suffered a right ankle injury vs. the Panthers on Tuesday and will miss at least one week after landing on IR. The Blackhawks have not released a timetable for his return. Jujhar Khaira moved up into the Blackhawks' top-6 in Thursday's practice.
Swaymans last start came over a week ago when he allowed six goals on 25 shots (.760 SV%) in a 7-5 loss to Ottawa. The 23-year-old netminder has struggled early on this season, posting a 5.40 GAA along with a .816 SV% while essentially losing the starting goalie battle to Linus Ullmark. He will face a Detroit team who is coming off a 6-2 loss Tuesday to New Jersey but has scored at a very efficient rate this season, ranking fifth in the NHL in GF/GP (3.67).
Kastelic was a fifth-round pick in 2019 and has been a fixture on the Senators' fourth line this season, collecting two goals in six games.
Jokiharju took a puck to the face in Calgary last Thursday and is week-to-week with a broken bone under his nose. Ilya Lyubushkin and Owen Power have taken on larger roles with both Jokiharju and Mattias Samuelsson out.
Blummel has been dominating the AHL to start 2022-23, with five goals and three assists through his first five games showing he more than earned the call-up. The 22-year-old has yet to play a game in the NHL after being drafted in the 4th round of the 2019 NHL entry draft.
Jakub Lauko is the odd Bruin out as Brandon Carlo returned from the injured reserve Tuesday, sending Lauko to the Providence Bruins of the AHL. Through the first four games of 2022-23 in the NHL, Lauko has one assist and is a +1 rating.
With A.J. Greer entering the lineup Jakub Lauko will be the odd man out on the Bruins' offensive unit Tuesday. Through the first four games of 2022-23, Lauko has one assist and is a +1 rating.
Lauko will be a healthy scratch for the second time in three games, with Jack Studnicka drawing into the Bruins lineup to replace him.
Stralman was eligible to play in Canada on Tuesday but will not be available for Thursday's game vs. the Ducks. Luckily for the Bruins, Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) is set for his season debut to replace Stralman.
The 15-year-veteran will join his seventh NHL team Tuesday when he takes the ice for Boston as they take on Ottawa Tuesday. He is only 70 games from reaching the 1000 games played club having collected 63 goals and 293 points in his 930 GP throughout his 15-year career.
Arvidsson missed Thursday's game vs. the Kraken but he's expected to play tonight in Minnesota. Arvidsson had two shots in 17:33 TOI in his only game of the season.
Wahlstrom missed the Islanders' season opener on Thursday but is expected to replace Kieffer Bellows in the lineup on Saturday. Wahlstrom had 13 goals and 11 assists (24 points) in 73 games a season ago.
