Hagens will not make his NHL debut vs. Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Hagens has been practicing with Boston after signing his entry-level contract earlier in the week but will remain out on Saturday vs. Tampa Bay and will not make his NHL debut. The 19-year-old has had success at both the NCAA level (47 Pts in 34 GP) and AHL (4 Pts in 6 GP) this season.

Boston has signed James Hagens to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Hagens was drafted seventh-overall by the Boston Bruins in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. The 19-year-old forward recently completed his second season of collegiate hockey with Boston College, where he scored 47 points (23G / 24A) in 34 games.

Swayman will start in Carolina on Tuesday.

Swayman has continued his excellent play, but the Bruins' struggles offensively have hindered his effectiveness. The 27-year-old Swayman saved 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in his most recent outing, but did not receive enough goal support, losing 3-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has lost three of his last five games (2-3-0) despite posting a serviceable 2.60 GAA and .906 SV%. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +166 road underdogs against the Carolina Hurricanes team, coming off a disappointing 6-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators.

Swayman will start in Florida on Thursday.

Swayman allowed three goals in the first period of his previous outing, but shut the door the rest of the way en route to a 22-save performance (.880 SV%) in a 4-3 shootout win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 27-year-old Swayman concluded March with a tremendous 2.15 GAA and .925 SV% in 11 games (8-2-1). The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as -162 road favourites against a Panthers team coming off a surprisingly dominant 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.

Korpisalo will start vs. Dallas on Tuesday.

The Bruins have relied heavily on Swayman lately as they hope to lock up a playoff spot in the final games of the regular season. The 27-year-old American goalie played both ends of a back-to-back this weekend (2-0-0), and will get the night off on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. The 31-year-old Korpisalo has been far from spectacular this season, but has been serviceable in recent games, helping his team collect a point in four of his last five outings (2-1-2) despite posting an ugly 3.82 GAA and .885 SV%. The Bruins enter Tuesday's game as +109 home underdogs against the Stars.
