Linus Ullmark returned from a lower-body injury in Saturday's 9-4 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, but the Bruins will rotate back to Swayman on Monday night. Swayman has allowed two or fewer goals in four of his last five starts (3-0-2), posting a stellar .929 SV%. The Bruins have won four straight and are -135 home favourites against a Winnipeg Jets team leading the Central division and have won nine of their last 10 (9-1-0).
The Oilers have placed Erne on waivers, a move likely made to help make room for the addition of Corey Perry. Erne has struggled to establish himself in the Oilers roster this season, being limited to only two points (1G / 1A) in 23 games.
Friedman has regularly been a healthy scratch the last two months, resulting in him being loaned to the Abbotsford Canucks on a conditioning loan last week. He participated in Vancouver's practice on Monday as an extra defenseman.
Despite losing two of his last three (1-1-1), Ingram will start for the fifth straight game on Monday night. After a poor game to open the 2024 calendar year, allowing five goals in a 5-1 loss to the New York Islanders, Ingram has allowed three or fewer goals in each of his last six appearances (3-1-1), posting a stellar .932 SV%. The Coyotes are +131 home underdogs against a Penguins club that defeated them 4-2 last month.

Stolarz allowed five goals in his last start, a disappointing 5-4 loss to his former club, the Anaheim Ducks, but has otherwise been solid when called upon this season, posting a 2.22 GAA and .912 SV% in 13 games (6-4-2). The Panthers, losers of four straight, are -126 road favourites against a Nashville Predators team that has won three of their last five (3-2-0).

Adin Hill is nearing his return and could play tomorrow tonight on the back end of a back-to-back, but the Golden Knights will ride with Thompson on Monday against the New Jersey Devils.
