Andersen will start Thursday in Nashville.

Andersen stopped 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) to snap a three-game losing streak as he beat the New York Islanders in his previous start. The 33-year-old has won most nights this year despite his average counting stats, with his 20-9-1 record, 2.42 GAA and .904 SV%. He takes on the Nashville Predators, who have won three of their last five games and are 26th in the NHL in goals per game (2.74).

Taylor Hall returned to Boston's practice in a regular practice sweater but is doubtful to return Thursday (lower body).

Hall holds a $6 Million cap hit which would put Boston over its regular season salary cap if he were to be activated off the long-term injured reserve even though he fully practised in a regular practice sweater Wednesday. The 31-year-old has 16 goals, 20 assists, 143 SOG, 24 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 58 games prior to the injury.

Primeau will start Tuesday vs. the Red Wings.

Primeau stopped 24 of 26 shots (.923 SV%) for his first defeat of the season as he was handed the loss vs. Philadelphia in his previous start. The 23-year-old is only playing in his third game of the season with the Canadiens Monday, posting a 0-1-0 record, with a 2.28 GAA and .909 SV% so far. He takes on the Detroit Red Wings, who have won three of their last four games and are 22nd in the NHL in goals per game (2.93).

Kochetkov will start Tuesday vs. the Lightning.

Kochetkov stopped 41 of 44 shots (.932 SV%) to snap a two-game losing streak as he beat the Toronto Maple Leafs his previous time between the pipes. The 23-year-old rookie has been impressive when called upon this season, with his 12-6-5 record, 2.41 GAA and .911 SV%. He will take on the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have lost four straight after a 2-1 defeat to Boston last game.
