The Bruins have added Anton Blidh to the COVID-19 protocol list.
The COVID-19 protocol list continues to grow in Boston, as Blidh was one of three players added on Thursday morning. Blidh joins Trent Frederic, Jeremy Swayman, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.
The Blue Jackets have activated Joonas Korpisalo (illness) from IR.
Korpisalo missed five games with an illness but was activated from IR on Friday morning. He will most likely serve as Elvis Merzlikins' backup on Saturday.
Line Change
Blidh will draw back into the Bruins lineup on Thursday.
Shesterkin's lower-body injury is "not as bad as it looks."
Shesterkin had to leave Friday's game after suffering a lower-body injury in the third period. Shesterkin did not put any weight on his leg as he was leaving the ice but head coach Gerard Gallant said it's a minor lower-body injury and not as bad as it looked. Look for Alexandar Georgiev to start Saturday.
The Blue Jackets have placed Joonas Korpisalo (illness) on IR.
Korpisalo was not available for Thursday's game in Dallas and will miss at least the next three games. Elvis Merzlikins and Dainll Tarasov will serve as the Blue Jackets' goaltending duo while Korpisalo is out.
Goalie Start
Shesterkin will start Friday vs. the Sharks.
Korpisalo (illness) is not expected to be available Thursday in Dallas.

Blidh (upper-body) will not play Tuesday vs. the Red Wings.
Blidh will be replaced by Jake DeBrusk in the lineup on Tuesday. Blidh is day-to-day but has not yet been ruled out for their remaining two games this week.

Shesterkin will likely get the nod on Sunday.
Goalie Start
Korpisalo will start Saturday in St. Louis.
Cholowski will draw into the Capitals lineup on Friday.
Cholowski played just 9:57 TOI in his Capitals debut on Sunday while suiting up as a seventh defenseman. On Friday, he'll replace Justin Schultz, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Veleno (upper-body) is "highly doubtful" to play on Saturday.
Veleno suffered an upper-body injury in Wednesday's win over the Blues. He was not available for Friday's practice and head coach Jeff Blashill doesn't expect him to be available for Saturday's game vs. the Sabres.
Goalie Start
Shesterkin will start Friday afternoon in Boston.
