Recalled Monday Viel was promoted from AHL Providence on Monday.

Impact Viel's elevation to the NHL roster comes as Mark Kastelic sustained a lower-body injury in Saturday's matchup with the Blues. The 27-year-old Viel is far from a lock to make the lineup versus Columbus on Monday and hasn't exactly been lighting it up in the minors with just four points in 14 contests.

Doubtful for Monday Peeke (upper body) is doubtful for Monday against Columbus, per Andrew Fantucchio of Boston Hockey Now.

Impact Peeke participated in Sunday's practice and appears to be nearing a return to action following a five-game absence. He has accounted for two assists, seven shots on net, 21 blocked shots and 18 hits across 13 appearances this season. Once he is healthy, Peeke could replace Parker Wotherspoon in the lineup.

Generates assist in loss McAvoy posted an assist, three hits and two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

Impact McAvoy has three points over his last three contests. The 26-year-old has earned all of those points against the Blues, but he'll have to find a way to contribute against other opponents since the teams' season series is over. McAvoy is at three goals, four assists, 36 shots on net, 34 hits, 27 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 19 outings this season. He's still playing in a large role on the first pairing, but the Bruins' poor offense (2.47 goals per game) has had a noticeable negative impact on McAvoy's production.

Gets first NHL point Merkulov picked up an assist Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

Impact It was his first NHL point. Merkulov is an undrafted, 24-year-old winger who delivered 30 goals and 35 assists in 67 games in the AHL last season and was off to a point-per-game pace there (two goals, nine assists; 12 games) this year. Merkulov is a potential middle-six forward who could offer fantasy value in deep formats if he can stick in the NHL, but don't expect him to replicate his AHL scoring.

Strong start wasted Korpisalo made 28 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues on Saturday.

Impact The Bruins wasted a strong performance from Korpisalo, who was assumed to be the team's weakest link heading into the season. Not any more. He made a 10-bell save late in the first on a 3-on-1 shot from Brayden Schenn that kept the score 2-1 for the Bruins. His teammates struggled to contain the Blues third line, which contributed both goals and five points in regulation. Yes, the third line. He deserved better. Overall, Korpisalo is 3-2-1 in six starts with a 2.74 GAA and .901 save percentage. With this performance, Korpisalo may have earned Monday's start in Columbus.

Snaps 17-game goal drought Frederic scored twice Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

Impact He had gone 17 consecutive games without a goal (Oct. 8 in Florida). His first was off a rebound in tight; the second was a tip of a point shot. Frederic has three points (two goals, one assist) in his last two games, but that microburst only served to double his season point total. Much more was expected after he put up 40 points last season, but Frederic has really struggled so far (three goals, three assists; 19 games) much like the rest of his team. Right now, there are a lot better options for your squad.

Suffers lower-body injury Kastelic won't return to Saturday's tilt against St. Louis because of a lower-body injury.

Impact Kastelic recorded one hit in 5:18 of ice time before departing the game. He entered Saturday's action with three goals, seven points and 74 hits in 18 appearances in 2024-25. If Kastelic isn't available Monday versus Columbus, then John Beecher will probably draw back into the lineup to serve in a bottom-six capacity.

Impact Tufte started the season with Boston and played twice in their first eight games before going on waivers Oct. 25. He was sent to the AHL after clearing waivers, where he had three goals and an assist before his recall. Look for Tufte to be the seventh defenseman Saturday in St. Louis.
