The Bruins have assigned Ryan Donato to Providence (AHL).

Donato was a healthy scratch in the Bruins final game before the All-Star break and has been replaced on the active roster by Peter Cehlarik. Donato can’t seem to get anything going this season, scoring just six goals to go along with three assists in 34 games with Boston.

Brossoit will start Monday in Philadelphia.

Brossoit stopped 43 of 44 shots in the Jets win over the Golden Knights on January 15th. Brossoit is riding an impressive seven-game personal winning streak, posting a 2.26 GAA, .938 SV% and one shutout in the process. Brossoit has been fantastic this season and is a worthwhile spot start in Philadelphia—the Flyers are 4-1-0 in their last five.

Brossoit will start Tuesday vs. the Golden Knights.

Brossoit stopped 33 of 35 shots in the Jets win over the Red Wings last Friday. Brossoit has been extremely impressive this season and comes into Tuesday’s game on a six-game personal winning streak, posting a 2.47 GAA, .930 SV% and one shutout over that span. Despite playing very well, Brossoit has the tough task of facing a Vegas team that has won eight of their last nine.

Foligno (personal) will be back in the Blue Jackets lineup on Thursday.

Foligno left the Blue Jackets after the team’s December 30th practice as his 5-year-old daughter was scheduled to undergo a heart procedure a day later in Boston. The family didn’t return to Columbus until Tuesday. Foligno returns after missing four games with 20 points (10G / 10A) in 37 contests.

Brossoit will start Friday vs. the Red Wings.

Brossoit stopped all 40 shots that he faced in the Jets 1-0 shutout win in Vancouver on December 22nd. Brossoit has won five consecutive games, while allowing 13 goals on 178 shots (.927 SV%). Brossoit falls four games short of being a qualified starter right now, but would rank first in the NHL in GAA (2.11) and SV% (.939) if he did qualify. He is a must-start vs. the Red Wings.

Weber (face) is expected to play Tuesday after leaving Monday’s game.

Weber was hit in the face by a Mikael Granlund shot in the first period of Monday’s game. Weber ended up returning to the ice during the first but did not come back out for the second period. However, an X-ray showed no fracture to his cheek, so Weber is expected to play on Tuesday.
