Arber Xhekaj will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday, prompting the Canadiens to make Harris a healthy scratch. Harris played 16:20 time-on-ice in his last outing and recorded two penalty minutes and one hit.
Poitras missed the Bruins' previous game before the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury but, despite being a full participant in practice Sunday, will remain out of the lineup on Tuesday against the Calgary Flames. 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.
Despite being active at the All-Star game over the weekend, the Bruins will return to Swayman to tend the twine on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Swayman is having a stellar season, highlighted by a five-game winning streak where he has allowed three or fewer goals in each game and posted an excellent .944 SV%. The Bruins are sizeable -193 home favourites entering Tuesday's contest against the Calgary Flames.
Jeannot has not played since January 6th, missing nine games with an upper-body injury, but returned to practice on Monday. The 26-year-old Jeannot had been held off the scoresheet in eight straight games while recording only seven shots on goal before his injury.
Poitras missed the Bruins' previous game before the All-Star break due to an undisclosed injury but was a full participant in practice Sunday and is expected to be ready to suit up when Boston takes on Calgary on Tuesday. 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.
With his contract set to expire at the end of this season, Elias Lindholm was long rumoured to be one of the top trade targets in the NHL this season, and that came to fruition on Wednesday when the Canucks acquired him in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, a pair of prospects, a first-round draft pick, and a conditional fourth-round draft pick. Lindholm had struggled to produce at his usual clip in Calgary this season, registering just nine goals and 23 assists in 49 games despite playing over 20 minutes a night. It's been reported that Lindholm did not agree to any sort of extension with Vancouver as part of the deal, so he does appear to be a rental for the time being. You can expect him to centre one of Vancouver's top two lines, though we likely won't get an official projected lineup until after the All-Star break.
Reichel will fill in for Rem Pitlick, who will be a healthy scratch on Thursday. Reichel has three goals and six assists in 45 games this season.
Poitras will fill in for Jakub Lauko, who is out with an undisclosed injury. Poitras has five goals and ten assists in 32 games this season.
Kastelic will slide back into the Sens' lineup as Dominik Kubalik will be the odd-man out on Thursday. Kastelic has one goal and one assist in 27 games this season.
After a disappointing 3-2 loss to the Boston Bruins last night with Linus Ullmark between the pipes, the Bruins will return to Swayman for the back end of their back-to-back. Swayman has been nearly unbeatable lately, allowing only three total goals in his last three games (3-0-0), boasting a sensational .964 SV%. The Bruins are -135 road favourites against the Ottawa Senators, who have points in four straight games (3-0-1).

Poitras has zero points and only one shot on goal in his last four games, including being the only Bruins forward without a point in a 9-4 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. Oskar Steen will draw into the lineup in favour of Poitras.
Patera's reassignment to the Henderson Silver Knights of the AHL indicates that Adin Hill is finally ready to make his return to the crease for the Golden Knights. Patera was serviceable in limited action over the last two months, posting a 3.75 GAA and .901 SV% in five appearances (1-3-0).
Harris will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Johnathan Kovacevic to draw back into the Canadiens' lineup. Harris played the last 13 games for the Canadiens, registering three points (1G / 2A) in the process.
Reichel has played every game since December 3rd but will join Cole Guttman as a healthy scratch to allow Ryan Donato and Nick Foligno to make their returns to the lineup. Reichel has only one point (0G / 1A) in his last 11 games.
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).
Kastelic will sit on Sunday to make room for Shane Pinto's return to the lineup. Kastelic has one goal and one assist in 27 games this season.
