The Bruins are set to finish their first back-to-back of the season on Sunday night, facing the Seattle Kraken at TD Garden.
Boston heads into the game with confidence after a solid 3-0 win over the Flyers on Saturday, a much-needed response after Philadelphia shut them out on home ice just days before.
With Joonas Korpisalo likely resting after his 20-save performance in Philly, Jeremy Swayman is expected in net against Seattle. He'll be aiming to recover from his rough outing Thursday, where he allowed six goals against Carolina.
