Swayman will make his 19th start of the season when the Bruins travel to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks on Wednesday. Swayman picked up just his seventh win of the season his last time out, stopping 25 of the 28 shots he faced in a 6-3 victory over the Canadiens. Swayman has been in a bit of a groove of late after struggling mightily to begin the season, posting a .929 SV% across his last four starts. He's got a good chance of staying in the win column on Wednesday as the Bruins enter action at -150 on the money line.

Over the past few weeks, the Bruins have turned to Korpisalo once every three games, a trend that will continue on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. After a rough start to his tenure as a Bruin, allowing nine goals in his first two games (1-1-0) and posting a .850 SV%, Korpisalo has been solid, posting a .928 SV% in seven appearances since (4-1-1). The Bruins enter the action on Tuesday as -179 home favorites against a Red Wings club forced to turn to Ville Husso between the pipes as Cam Talbot and Alex Lyon are both sidelined with lower-body injuries.

Ben Jones will exit the lineup on Friday, allowing Khusnutdinov to return from a lower-body injury. Khusnutdinov was the 37th overall pick of the Minnesota Wild in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old has been adjusting to his first full NHL season, averaging 11:26 time-on-ice, scoring two points (0G / 2A).

Swayman has only played three of the last six games for the Bruins but will return to the crease on Friday. The 26-year-old Swayman has had an up-and-down 2024-25 campaign, posting an ugly 3.16 GAA and .888 SV% in 16 games (6-8-2). That said, he has saved 32 of 34 shots faced (.941 SV%) over his last two games (1-1-0). The Bruins enter Friday's contest as -166 home favorites against a Pittsburgh Penguins club coming off a 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, the first time they have scored over four goals since October 16th.

The Bruins will turn to Korpisalo on Wednesday as they look to bounce back from Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Canucks. Korpisalo turned in his second shutout in his last four starts his last time out, stopping all 22 shots he faced in a narrow 1-0 victory over Utah. He owns an impressive .945 SV% and 3-0-1 record across that four-game stretch. Korpisalo and the Bruins enter action on Wednesday as very slight underdogs at +105.

The Bruins will turn to Swayman for his second consecutive start on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 26-year-old Swayman has failed to live up to expectations this season, posting an ugly 3.30 GAA and .887 SV% in 15 games (6-7-2), but was solid in his last outing, saving 19 of 20 shots (.950 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings, his first game since the firing of head coach Jim Montgomery. The Bruins enter the action on Tuesday as -115 home favorites against a Vancouver Canucks club that welcomes Brock Boeser (upper body) back into the lineup.
