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

Trent Frederic will return to the Bruins lineup after missing two games with an illness. Sacco said there could be other game-time lineup changes.

Swayman departed the contest at the end of the second period and was replaced by Joonas Korpisalo, who made five saves on six shots. Swayman has found himself on the losing end in four of his last six starts, a span in which he's gone 2-3-1 with a 3.45 GAA and a .913 save percentage.

Korpisalo appeared in relief and stopped five of six shots in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to New Jersey. Korpisalo entered the ice in the third period after Jeremy Swayman allowed four goals on 29 shots faced before being pulled.

Swayman stopped 25 out of 29 Devils shots he faced on the night. The Bruins were outmatched entirely by the Devils at that point of the contest, but Swayman did his best to keep the Original Six club in it. He made several big stops, but the Bruins could not stop the Devils' offense.

The Bruins hope to keep their own point streak going while keeping the Devils on the skids on Wednesday. Jeremy Swayman gets the start.
