Korpisalo lost his only start of the season his last time out, allowing five goals on 45 shots (.889 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to Colorado. He will look to build off his only start as he takes on the Philadelphia Flyers at home Thursday. Philadelphia has won two straight games after taking their last contest 5-1 over St. Louis.
Blumel has been great for Texas prior to his promotion, scoring five goals and 11 points in his first nine games. He has yet to make his NHL debut so if he finds himself in Dallas' active lineup expect him to check that milestone off in the near future.
McAvoy has not played this season as he recovered from eft shoulder arthroscopic stabilization surgery on June 3. McAvoy returns to the Bruins' lineup ahead of schedule and will likely slot right back in atop their top defensive pair and power-play unit. He finished 2021-22 with a career-high 10 goals and 56 points across 78 games while finishing with 21 PPP.
Kuraly is day-to-day after only playing 8:09 TOI in Columbus' last game in Finland. In 12 games in 2022-23 he has two goals and four points while being a -8 plus/minus rating.
Swayman left Tuesday's game vs Pittsburgh in the third period and will be week-to-week with a lower-body injury. The 23-year-old netminder made four of four stops in a relief role of Linus Ullmark before the injury caused him to leave the crease. In four games played this season, he has a 2-1-0 record to go along with his .878 SV% and 3.45 GAA.

McAvoy was surprisingly on the ice in a non-contact jersey Monday after missing all of the 2022-23 season so far due to off-season shoulder surgery. It was a nice surprise as McAvoy was not expected back until closer to the new year. McAvoy enjoyed a breakout season in 2021-22, reaching double-digit goals (10) for the first time while putting up 56 points (10G/46A) in 78 games played.
Arvidsson was scratched right before game time Tuesday due to illness. He will return Thursday to try and build off his three points (1G/2A) and 11 SOG through his first six games to start the season.
Korpisalo will head to Cleveland (AHL) for a conditioning start vs. Syracuse Saturday. From there it is expected that the 28-year-old will head up to Columbus to back up Elvis Merzlikins. Through seven career seasons, he has 76 wins in 164 starts while posting a .902 SV% and 3.04 GAA.
Swaymans last start came over a week ago when he allowed six goals on 25 shots (.760 SV%) in a 7-5 loss to Ottawa. The 23-year-old netminder has struggled early on this season, posting a 5.40 GAA along with a .816 SV% while essentially losing the starting goalie battle to Linus Ullmark. He will face a Detroit team who is coming off a 6-2 loss Tuesday to New Jersey but has scored at a very efficient rate this season, ranking fifth in the NHL in GF/GP (3.67).
Kastelic was a fifth-round pick in 2019 and has been a fixture on the Senators' fourth line this season, collecting two goals in six games.
Jokiharju took a puck to the face in Calgary last Thursday and is week-to-week with a broken bone under his nose. Ilya Lyubushkin and Owen Power have taken on larger roles with both Jokiharju and Mattias Samuelsson out.
Blummel has been dominating the AHL to start 2022-23, with five goals and three assists through his first five games showing he more than earned the call-up. The 22-year-old has yet to play a game in the NHL after being drafted in the 4th round of the 2019 NHL entry draft.
Arvidsson missed Thursday's game vs. the Kraken but he's expected to play tonight in Minnesota. Arvidsson had two shots in 17:33 TOI in his only game of the season.
