Jokiharju will rejoin the Sabres' lineup on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
After being a regular in the lineup to start the season, Jokiharju has not played since November 2nd, missing six straight. The 25-year-old Jokiharju was averaging 18:12 time-on-ice, tallying three points (1G / 2A) in 12 games.
Kastelic (lower-body) will be out vs. Columbus on Monday.
Kastelic exited Saturday's game due to a lower-body injury and will not play on Monday. The 25-year-old Kastelic has been a force this season, averaging 11:57 time-on-ice, tallying a massive 75 hits, 24 penalty minutes, and seven points (3G / 4A) in 19 games.
Goalie Start
Swayman will start vs. Columbus on Monday.
Swayman allowed seven goals on 38 shots (.816 SV%) in his previous outing, resulting in Joonas Korpisalo starting the following game. That said, Swayman will return to the crease on Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 25-year-old Swayman has struggled this season, failing to live up to the massive eight-year contract he signed before the start of the season, posting an ugly 3.35 GAA and .888 SV% in 13 games (5-6-2). The Bruins enter the action on Monday as -198 home favorites against a Blue Jackets squad that has lost seven of their previous eight games (1-6-1).
Kastelic is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Kastelic left Saturday's game with a lower-body injury and will not return.
Line Change
Steeves will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
The Bruins have placed Hampus Lindholm (lower-body) on IR.
Lindholm is expected to miss multiple weeks with a lower-body injury that he suffered on Tuesday, so moving him to IR opens up a roster spot for the Bruins to recall some forward help.
Jeannot will return on Saturday vs. Detroit from his three game suspension.
Jeannot struck Brock Boeser of the Vancouver Canucks with an illegal hit to the head during last Thursday, resulting in a three-game suspension. It is the first suspension of Jeannot's career. He will return to the lineup on Saturday, November 16th against the Detroit Red Wings.
Line Change
Harris will draw back into Columbus' lineup on Friday vs. Pittsburgh.
Jack Johnson will be a healthy scratch on Friday, allowing Harris to suit up for only the second time in six games. The 24-year-old Harris is averaging 13:10 time-on-ice and has zero points in eight games this season.
Goalie Start
Swayman will start in Dallas on Thursday.
The Bruins, fresh off a 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday, will turn to Swayman between the pipes for a third straight game. The 25-year-old Swayman is sporting a pedestrian 3.03 GAA and .896 SV% in 12 games (5-5-2). The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as +150 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team that defeated them 5-2 three weeks ago when Swayman allowed four goals on 31 shots (.871 SV%).
Line Change
Steeves will make his season debut in Washington on Wednesday.
Steeves is an undrafted 24-year-old from St. Paul, Minnesota with seven games of NHL experience in his career. He has become an offensive standout at the AHL level, with 12 points (9G / 3A) in 10 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this season. Nicholas Robertson will serve as a healthy scratch on Wednesday, allowing Steeves to draw into the lineup.
Lindholm is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Lindholm suffered a lower-body injury in the first period of Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Blue and did not return. The 30-year-old defenseman was averaging 20:51 time-on-ice and had seven points (3G / 4A) in 17 games this season. Boston recalled Jordan Oesterle from the Providence Bruins (AHL) in a corresponding move.
Lindholm (lower-body) will not return to Tuesday's game in St. Louis.
Lindholm suffered the injury in the first period of Tuesday's game and was unable to join his teammates on the bench for the start of the second. We should receive an update on his status ahead of Boston's game in Dallas on Thursday.
Goalie Start
Swayman will start in St. Louis on Tuesday.
The Bruins will turn to Swayman between the pipes for the fourth time in the last five games. Partially a byproduct of poor team play, Swayman has struggled this season, posting a 3.13 GAA and .896 SV% in 11 outings (4-5-2), a far cry from the 2.53 GAA and .916 SV% he recorded in 44 games last season (25-10-8) to help him secure an eight-year, $66 million contract extension. That said, the Bruins enter the action on Tuesday as -168 road favorites against a St. Louis Blues club coming off a disastrous 8-1 loss to the Washington Capitals.
Line Change
Harris will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday in Seattle.
Dante Fabbro will make his debut with the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, resulting in Harris being a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Harris is averaging 13:10 time-on-ice, has zero points, and a -3 plus/minus in eight games this season.
