Goalie Jeremy Swayman returned to practice for the Boston Bruins on Friday and Michael DiPietro was back in Providence.<\/p>\n
Swayman left the Bruins\u2019 5-1 loss to the Devils<\/a> on Wednesday after the second period and didn\u2019t dress for Thursday\u2019s 2-0 win over Ottawa<\/a>.\u00a0 Interim coach Joe Sacco said Swayman was dealing with a minor upper-body injury and before Thursday\u2019s game said he was cautiously optimistic that Swayman could return for Saturday\u2019s game against Colorado.<\/p>\n DiPietro had a front row seat to watch Joonas Korpisalo shut out the Senators, before shuttling back down I-95 to Rhode Island.<\/p>\n Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reported that DiPietro was on the ice for morning skate in Providence.<\/p>\n The Bruins haven\u2019t announced that he\u2019d been sent back down yet meaning they\u2019ll likely see how Swayman feels before finalizing the transaction.<\/p>\n WHEN KORPISALO, Boston\u2019s backup goalie, was asked about what it meant to beat his former team in a big division game on Thursday, he pivoted his answer to what the victory\u2019s meant for the Bruins.<\/p>\n \u201cIt felt great. It was good for the whole team,\u201d he said. \u201cHaving that game yesterday and coming back here, that\u2019s not an easy game to play. Today was superb. That was a big game for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n Korpisalo finished with 29 saves for his third shutout of the year.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re pretty spoiled with both of our goalies. That\u2019s not something we take for granted in this room,\u201d said Morgan Geekie, who had the game-winning goal. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t get enough credit for coming in the way he does.\u201d<\/p>\n David Pastrnak agreed.<\/p>\n \u201cKorpi was outstanding for us,\u201d Pastrnak said.<\/p>\n Korpisalo said his defense did a good job not putting him in dangerous spots.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think there was many odd-man rushes or Grade A chances there,\u201d Korpisalo said.<\/p>\n THE BLOSSOMING CHEMISTRY between Pastrnak and Geekie continued to bear fruit early in the second period Thursday. From the right point, Brandon Carlo sent the puck around the boards to Pastrnak behind the net. As he moved toward the front, Forsberg slid to seal the left post from a wrap-around try, so Pastrnak fed the puck to Geekie crashing on the other side.<\/p>\n Geekie tapped it in, 2:06 into the second period to give him 13 goals this season and the Bruins a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n Pastrnak added to his recent hot stretch with an empty-net goal to seal it. He stole the puck just inside the Bruins blue line and scored on an easy breakaway with 4.4 seconds left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman makes a save in the second period of Boston\u2019s 5-1 loss to the Devils…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":192502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5099],"tags":[154,95,5132,530,5,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-192501","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-bruins","8":"tag-boston","9":"tag-boston-bruins","10":"tag-bostonbruins","11":"tag-bruins","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-nhl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115200995168104899","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/192502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
