Lindholm (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision vs. Anaheim on Thursday.

Hampus Lindholm did not play on Sunday, supposedly given an extra day of maintenance after returning from an injury, but was out of the lineup on Tuesday and could miss a third consecutive game on Thursday. Jordan Harris will exit the lineup if Lindholm is able to return.

Korpisalo will start vs. Anaheim on Thursday.

The Bruins have been liberal with their crease this season, giving Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo significant exposure. Korpisalo will tend the twine on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks, looking to improve on an uninspiring 3.36 GAA and .865 SV% in three games (1-2-0). The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as slight -108 home favorites against a Ducks team that exploded offensively in their most recent game, a 5-2 win over the Nashville Predators, after scoring only two goals in their previous two games (0-1-1).
