Svedberg is expected to come up from Iowa (AHL) and backup Devan Dubnyk in Toronto.

Svedberg, 28, has gone 3-6-0 with a 2.84 GAA and .904 SV% in 10 games with Iowa so far this season. With Alex Stalock expected to go join his wife for the birth of their second child, Svedberg will come up and backup Dubnyk against the Maple Leafs.

Svedberg will start on Tuesday.

Svedberg allowed three goals on 39 shots in the Bruins win over the Red Wings on March 8th. With Tuukka Rask starting the last four games, including both games of a back-to-back on the weekend, Svedberg will go tonight vs. the Sabres. He makes for a great spot-start having gone 2-0-0 with a 0.99 GAA and .957 SV% vs. Buffalo this season.

Svedberg was pulled after he allowed three goals on 10 shots in the Bruins loss to Dallas on February 10th. He posted a 14-save shutout in his first start vs. the Devils back on February 8th. He makes for a solid, cheap one-day option vs. the low-scoring Devils.

The Bruins recalled Niklas Svedberg from Providence (AHL).

Svedberg went 3-1-0 with a 2.76 GAA and .911 SV% in his four-game conditioning stint with Providence. Despite being back with the Bruins, they only have two games this week, so Tuukka Rask will likely start both of those contests.

The Bruins have sent Niklas Svedberg to Providence (AHL) on a conditioning stint.

Svedberg has not played in an NHL game since January 8th, so he has been sent to Providence to get in a few games this weekend and will likely return to the Bruins next week.

Svedberg was pulled after he allowed three goals on 12 shots in the Bruins loss to the Blue Jackets on December 27th. Tuukka Rask started the last five games, but it will be Svedberg tonight vs. the Devils. He is 4-5-0 with a 2.46 GAA and .918 SV% on the year.

The Bruins will not have a morning skate because of the back-to-back. The status of their goaltender won't be known until pre-game warmups start at 6:30 PM ET.

Tuukka Rask faced 39 shots last night and just made back-to-back starts on Saturday and Sunday, so we are going to venture a guess and say it will be Niklas Svedberg vs. the Devils, but that is merely a guess.

Svedberg allowed a single goal on 34 shots in a 2-0 loss to the Kings on December 2nd. After a heavy workload for Tuukka Rask last night, Svedberg will be in goal tonight in Minnesota. It will be the battle of the backups with Niklas Backstrom going for the Wild.

Svedberg allowed five goals on 34 shots in the Bruins loss to the Habs on November 13th. Svedberg is 2-3-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .917 SV% in five starts and seven appearances and could make for a strong spot-start against a the 6-11-1 Blue Jackets.

Svedberg is probable to start for Boston.

The Bruins had an optional skate this morning so it is hard to tell who the starter is, but with the rival Canadiens in town on Saturday, it looks like it will be Svedberg tonight and Tuukka Rask tomorrow. Svedberg is 2-3-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .917 SV% in five starts and seven appearances and could make for a strong spot-start against a the 6-11-1 Blue Jackets.

Svedberg gets the call in goal for the Bruins.

Svedberg allowed three goals on 38 shots in a loss to the Islanders last Thursday. He watched Tuukka Rask start the next two, but will be back between the pipes tonight against a Sabres team that he had a 32-save shutout against on October 18. This is as good of a spot-start as you will find tonight.

Svedberg leads the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

Svedberg stopped all 32 shots that he faced in a 4-0 win over the Sabres on Saturday. He has had a great start to the year, stopping 62 of 64 shots (.969 SV%). He will go tonight, so that leaves Tuukka Rask for Saturday vs. the Maple Leafs. It is not the best spot-start situation, seeing as how the Islanders are second in the NHL with a 3.50 goals per game.
