PREGAME NOTES

Jeremy Swayman will get the start in net on Thursday as Boston looks for its sixth straight win. No chances up front for Boston, with the only other lineup shuffle coming on the blue line, where Steven Kampfer will slot in for Jakub Zboril. Kevan Miller has skated with the club the last few days, but will not play until Friday at the earliest. He missed the last few games due to a bout of cellulitis.

Boston has matched their longest win streak of the season at five straight games, outscoring opponents 18-6 with a 1.18 goals against average in that span, including shutouts in two of their last three games. They are 8-2-1 in their last 11 games and are 12-4-2 in their last 18 games overall.

Charlie Coyle is one point shy of his 300th NHL point.
