""The last little while, he's been their motor, the guy not just on the ice and off the ice," said Sturm. "We're just getting prepared if a guy like Peeke is out, if we need a guy like that, who can give us 12 minutes, who can block shots. It was an easy choice. Talking to everyone down in Providence, he definitely deserved that.""
""Usually it does. It's just a good thing having them around," said Sturm. "It's usually the mom or dads, now it's the siblings so there's a lot of pressure on them right now. But it's great. They're really excited and hopefully we can give them two really good games (they travel on to Dallas for a Tuesday game). We have something good go"
Joonas Korpisalo will start as the Boston Bruins pursue a sixth consecutive win against the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center. Jeremy Swayman, who played the previous two games, will be rested to avoid overworking him. Korpisalo has stopped 55 of 56 shots in his last two starts. Andrew Peeke left Thursday’s win with a lower-body injury and is considered doubtful despite participating in the morning skate. Hampus Lindholm also skated after being sidelined since Jan. 3 with a lower-body injury. Right-shot defenseman Billy Sweezey was recalled from Providence on an emergency basis. The team is traveling with players’ siblings on a family trip.
