Jeremy Swayman will not play in Thursday's game against the Ottawa Senators due to an upper-body injury suffered the day before.

The Boston Bruins may get a boost to their lineup, as goaltender Jeremy Swayman is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday afternoon against the Colorado Avalanche.

Swayman made 27 saves on 28 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

Jeremy Swayman returned to Boston practice on Friday and Michael DiPietro was back in Providence which likely signals a return toward goalie normalcy within the Bruins organization.

David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists, and the Boston Bruins beat Colorado 3-1 a day after the Avalanche traded star winger Mikko Rantanen.

The Bruins have fought the injury bug while battling to remain among the NHL’s playoff contenders with under three months remaining in the regular season.

The up-and-down Boston Bruins remain squarely on a crowded playoff bubble in the Eastern Conference. Team president Cam Neely has acknowledged that a “retool” could be on the table between now and the March 7 trade deadline.
