Harris has missed the last three games due to an upper-body injury but will likely return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres. He was limited to only 1:34 time-on-ice before exiting the Canadiens' February 11th matchup against the St. Louis Blues.
Poitras missed the Bruins' previous game before the All-Star break due to the injury and did practice in full on Sunday, but the team and Poitras have opted for surgery to repair his injured shoulder, bringing a premature end to his rookie season. The 19-year-old rookie left the Bruins briefly in December to attend this year's World Jr Tournament and has made a solid impact in his rookie season with five goals and 15 points in 33 games played.
Lohrei hasn't played a game for Boston since January 18th and has primarily been with the Providence Bruins (AHL) since. The 23-year-old defender has excelled at the AHL level this season with 13 points (1G / 12A) in 17 games.
Lindholm left Monday's game after 18:09 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will be evaluated on Tuesday to declare the extent of his injury. The 30-year-old defenseman is a key piece in Boston's impressive defensive unit and has a goal, 18 assists, 73 SOG, 54 PIMs and a +19 plus/minus through 57 games this season.
As has been the case most of the season, the Bruins will continue to alternate goalies and turn to Swayman on Monday after Ullmark played on Saturday. Swayman has a sub-.900 SV% in two of his last three games (0-3-0), a rarity for the All-Star netminder. The Bruins are -134 home favourites against a Dallas Stars club without their number one defenceman Miro Heiskanen (personal).
As has been the case most of the season, Swayman will tend the twine on Thursday, replacing Linus Ullmark, the starter in the Bruins' previous contest. Swayman has lost consecutive games in regulation, a first-time occurrence for the All-Star netminder, allowing six goals on 57 shots and posting an uncharacteristically low .895 SV%. That said, the Bruins are -181 home favourites against a Seattle Kraken club with only three wins in their last 10 games (3-6-1).

Jeannot was activated off Injured Reserve earlier this week and made his return to the lineup on Tuesday, but was limited to only 5:44 time-on-ice before re-aggravating his lower-body injury. The 26-year-old bruising winger has filled in his bottom-six role well this season with 12 points (6G/6A), 52 SOG, 61 PIMs, and a -11 plus/minus in 41 games played before the injury.
Steeves made his season debut on Tuesday, logging 10:14 time-on-ice, one shot, and six hits. He will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, indicating that one or both of Mitch Marner and John Tavares will likely return to the lineup from illness.
Steeves was recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) on an emergency basis with both John Tavares and Mitch Marner set to miss Tuesday's game to an illness, and will slot right into the lineup on the Leafs' fourth line. Steeves has 18 goals and 20 assists in 38 AHL games this season.

Patera was recalled from the Henderson Silver Knights (AHL) on Monday as Logan Thompson was battling an illness but has been reassigned back to the AHL. Patera has played five games with Vegas this season but has spent most of his time with Henderson, posting a 3.08 GAA and .903 SV% in 17 games (7-7-3).
