Korpisalo allowed four goals on 19 shots in the Blue Jackets 5-4 shootout loss to the Rangers on Saturday. Korpisalo has struggled in his last three starts, allowing a combined 10 goals on 56 shots (.821 SV%). With Bobrovsky sick, Korpisalo will make his eight start of the season tonight. The 24-year-old allowed four goals on 41 shots in a 5-4 win in his first start vs. the Panthers.
Arvidsson missed three games with a lower-body injury before returning last Saturday, when he suffered a broken thumb. Arvidsson will be out until at least late-December, which means Kevin Fiala and Colton Sissons will continue to see expanded roles. Top prospects Elli Tolvanen could be called up to fill-in for Arvidsson.
Stralman is expected to miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury, but is getting closer to a return. Erik Cernak will likely remain in the Lightning lineup with Stralman out.
McAvoy has missed the last eight games with a concussion and isn’t expected to return any time soon. McAvoy will not travel at the start of the Bruins road-trip, so he’ll miss at least Wednesday’s game in Colorado and likely their back-to-back on Friday and Saturday.
Rask missed the last few games because of a personal leave of absence, but was back on the ice for Tuesday’s practice. Rask may sit out Wednesday’s game in Colorado, but should start either Friday in Dallas or Saturday in Arizona.
Zacha struggled to start the season with New Jersey, failing to pick up a point in his first 10 games. Since being sent to Binghamton, the former No.6 overall pick had five assists in four games. Zacha has been brought back up because Brian Boyle has landed on IR.
Arvidsson was activated from IR with a lower-body injury for Saturday’s game, but was forced to leave the game with an upper-body injury. Arvidsson was hurt while crashing into the boards and will miss at least the next three games. With Arvidsson back out, Kevin Fiala will likely move back to the top line.
Arvidsson has missed the last three games but is set to return on Saturday afternoon after being activated from IR. Arvidsson has picked up 12 points (8G / 4A) in 12 games this season and will likely reclaim his spot on the top line today.
The Bruins announced on Friday that Rask has been granted a leave of absence, which means they will ride Jaroslav Halak as their No.1 netminder. There is no word on how long they expect Rask to be away from the team.
Arvidsson was placed on IR on Monday, but was on the ice for Tuesday’s practice and Wednesday’s morning skate but is not expected to play in Colorado. It’s a good sign that Arvidsson was on the ice for two straight days, so there’s a chance that he plays Saturday in Dallas.
Arvidsson has missed the last two games and the Predators placed him on IR on Monday morning. Arvidsson’s move to IR means that he will miss at least Wednesday’s game in Colorado, but he is eligible to return in Dallas on Saturday.
Rask allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Bruins loss to the Canadiens on October 27th. Jaroslav Halak started the last two games, but they’ll go back to Rask tonight to kick-off a four-game week. Rask has had his struggles this season, but is 2-1-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .920 SV% on home-ice.

Zacha has not recorded a point in 10 games this season, so he heads to the AHL for the first time since 2015-16. Zacha has been a solid defensive centre for the Devils, but they were expecting to get more offence out of him when they picked him No.6 overall in 2015. His move to the AHL will allow him to play huge offensive minutes and try to re-discover that part of his game.
McAvoy’s move to IR is retroactive to October 18th, so he’s eligible to return whenever he is 100 percent. McAvoy did not skate on Monday after retuning to the ice on Saturday, so his move to IR suggests that he may have suffered a setback. McAvoy won’t play Tuesday, but monitor his status as the week progresses.
Korpisalo allowed four goals on 38 shots in the Blue Jackets 5-4 overtime win vs. Buffalo on Saturday. The Blue Jackets will stick with Korpisalo for the third straight game. He is 4-0-0 despite posting an ugly 3.64 GAA and .897 SV% through four starts.
