With Tuukka Rask signing a one-year deal on Tuesday, Swayman will head to the AHL for the time being. Swayman has gone 8-6-2 with a 2.26 GAA and .918 SV% in 16 games with the Bruins this season. The last time he was in the AHL, he was 8-1-0 with a 1.89 GAA and .933 SV%.
Brown suffered an MCL injury vs. the Sharks on Saturday and will miss at least one month. Connor Bunnaman replaced Brown as the Flyers' fourth-line centre in Tuesday's practice.
McAvoy missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but is expected to replace Urho Vaakanainen in the lineup on Monday. McAvoy, who has 20 points (5G / 15A) in 28 games this season, will be back on the top pairing and PP1 in Washington.
McAvoy missed Thursday's game vs. the Wild but was on the ice for Saturday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision on Tampa. McAvoy has 20 points (5G / 15A) in 28 games this season.
McAvoy's injury is expected to be short-term but it's serious enough to keep him out of the lineup on Thursday. John Moore will replace him on the Bruins' blueline.
Zacha and Yegor Sharangovich entered COVID-19 protocol and will not play in Boston. With Zacha, Sharangovich and Nico Hischier all out, Thomas Tatar, Alexander Holtz and Nolan Foote are expected to play.
Korpisalo has cleared COVID-19 protocol and will make his first appearance since December 16th. Korpisalo has given up at least three goals in seven straight starts, going 3-3-0 with an .872 SV%. Tonight he'll face a Lightning team that is on a three-game losing skid but are in the top-half in the NHL in xGF/60 (2.83).
Korpisalo was in COVID-19 protocol and skated on his own on Thursday but joined the team on Friday and should be available for Saturday's game. It's unclear if he will start or backup Elvis Merzlikins.
Both Tufte and Thomas Harley were recalled from the AHL and travelled to St. Louis but it's unclear if either will play on Friday. Tufte failed to record a point in his first two career NHL games earlier in the season.
The COVID-19 protocol list continues to grow in Boston, as Swayman was one of three players added on Thursday morning. Swayman joins Trent Frederic, Anton Blidh, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.
Zadorov was one of six Flames players that were added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday morning. Calgary's next three games have been postponed as a result of this outbreak.
