Boston Bruins News

The Bruins lead the Atlantic Division with a 10-4-1 record, largely thanks to Jeremy Swayman's stellar play. That said, Swayman is coming off his worst performance of this season, allowing four goals on 18 shots (.778 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The 27-year-old American goalie has a 2.35 GAA and .912 SV% in 11 games this season (7-3-1). The Bruins enter Monday's outing as slight +104 home underdogs against a Vegas Golden Knights team that has scored two or fewer goals in four of their last five games (1-3-1).

Kuraly played his first game in two weeks on Saturday, recording zero points in 8:45 time-on-ice, and will return to the sidelines on Monday. Matthew Poitras will enter the lineup as Kuraly's replacement.

Poitras did not play in Boston's previous game, but will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. After only playing three games with Boston last season, the 22-year-old Poitras is off to a solid start in 2026-27, with seven points (3G / 4A) in 11 games.

Dipietro stopped all 28 shots that he faced to earn his first career shutout vs. Nashville on October 22nd. Jeremy Swayman started the last three games, but DiPietro will make his fourth start of the season vs. Chicago. He's been excellent so far, stopping 80 of the 85 shots (.941 SV%) that he's faced. He's arguably the best streaming option available on Saturday.

Frederic Brunet will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Clifton to re-enter the lineup. The 31-year-old Clifton is averaging 20:38 time-on-ice, recording one assist and 13 hits in six games this season.

Connor Clifton will re-enter Boston's lineup on Thursday, sending Brunet to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 23-year-old Brunet is averaging 16:24 time-on-ice and has four points (1G / 3A) in 10 games this season.
