Jeannot (illness) is expected to play vs. Edmonton on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday.
Jeannot has played every game this season, a trend that will continue despite battling an illness the past couple days. The 28-year-old Jeannot is producing at his best offensive rate since his rookie season. He has 14 points (3G / 11A) and 100 hits in 34 games.
Goalie Start
Swayman will start vs. Edmonton on Thursday.
After a miserable 2024-25 season, posting a 3.11 GAA and .892 SV% in 58 games (22-29-7), Swayman has returned to the form of the goalie that Boston awarded an eight-year contract extension to, posting a 2.74 GAA and .909 SV% through 22 outings this season (14-8-0). The 27-year-old American goalie has allowed two or fewer goals in seven of his last nine games (6-3-0), posting a.920 SV%. The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as +117 home underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers team that has scored four or more goals in five of their last seven games (5-1-1).
Jeannot (illness) missed practice on Wednesday.
Jeannot has played every game this season, but could be at risk of missing Thursday's game against the Edmonton Oilers due to an illness. The 28-year-old Jeannot is producing at his best offensive rate since his rookie season. He has 14 points (3G / 11A) and 100 hits in 34 games.
Aspitor (upper-body) has been placed on IR.
Aspirot has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on December 11th and has retroactively been placed on Injured Reserve. The 26-year-old defenseman, in his first NHL season, has one goal in 19 games.
Boston has claimed Vladislav Kolyachonok from Dallas off of waivers.
Kolyachonok started this season in the AHL, but injuries on the Dallas blueline awarded him the opportunity to make his team debut last month. The 24-year-old played in 11 games with Dallas, scoring three points (1G / 2A), but with regulars returning to the lineup, Kolyachonok found himself out of the lineup and ultimately on waivers. He joins a Bruins team that has battled its own share of blueline injuries.
Goalie Start
Swayman will start vs. Utah on Tuesday.
Swayman has largely rebounded after a forgettable 2024-25 season, but has battled some adversity lately, allowing five or more goals in two of his last four games (2-2-0). The 27-year-old American goalie has a 2.83 GAA and .908 SV% in 21 games this season (13-8-0). The Bruins enter Tuesday's action as slight +103 home underdogs against a Utah Mammoth team that has scored five goals in each of its last two games (2-0-0).

Arvidsson has already missed seven games this season due to injuries and returns to the sidelines with a lower-body ailment. The 32-year-old Arvidsson has been productive in a middle-six role for the Bruins this season, tallying 14 points (7G / 7A) and 65 shots in 25 games.
