Swayman will start in Calgary on Monday.

The Bruins hope to snap a five-game losing streak on Monday, turning to Swayman to tend the twine against the Calgary Flames. The 27-year-old Swayman had a forgettable performance in his most recent outing, allowing six goals on 29 shots (.793 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. He has a 2.91 GAA and .901 SV% in 26 games this season (14-10-1). The Bruins enter Monday's contest as +115 road underdogs against a Flames team that is 7-3-0 in their last 10 games.

Kolyachonok is expected to be a healthy scratch in Calgary on Monday.

Jonathan Aspirot is returning from a multi-week absence due to an upper-body injury, which will leave Kolyachonok as a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Kolyachonok was acquired earlier this month off waivers from the Dallas Stars. He is pointless and has a -1 plus/minus in two games with the Bruins.

Aspirot (upper-body) appears ready to return in Calgary on Monday after taking part in morning skate.

Aspirot has not played in nearly three weeks due to an upper-body injury, but will re-enter the lineup on Monday against the Calgary Flames. The 26-year-old defenseman has one goal in 19 games this season. Vladislav Kolyachonok will be the odd man out of the lineup to accommodate Aspirot's return.

Korpisalo will start Saturday in Buffalo.

Korpisalo was yanked after giving up five goals on 17 shots in the Bruins 6-2loss to the Senators last Sunday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Korpisalo, who is 2-4-0 with a 4.12 GAA and .875 SV% in his last seven outings. Tonight he'll start in Buffalo and the Sabres carry one of the highest implied totals (3.5) of the night, so leave Korpisalo on the waiver wire on a busy Saturday night.

Swayman will start vs. Montreal on Tuesday.

Despite rebounding from a poor 2024-25 season, Swayman currently finds himself in a bit of a cold stretch. The 27-year-old American goalie has seen the Bruins lose in four of his last five appearances (1-3-1) while posting a subpar 3.05 GAA and .864 SV%. He has a 2.78 GAA and .906 SV% in 25 games this season (14-9-1). The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as -123 home favorites against a Montreal Canadiens team with points in three straight games (2-0-1).
