After returning from a five-game road trip through Western Canada that saw the Boston Bruins go 2-2-1, they returned to the TD Garden to look for revenge for a 2-1 overtime loss to the Calgary Flames 10 days ago. Before they kicked off another five-game homestand over seven days, the Black and Gold held their morning skate at the TD Garden earlier in the day on Thursday.
Head coach Marco Sturm announced that Joonas Korpisalo was going to start against the Flames after Jeremy Swayman started the last four games. Sturm also hinted at a change in plans for his goaltender rotation going forward.
