“It was awesome. Just being in the locker room with the guys, speak your native language, Finnish,” Jokiharju said of the Olympics. “I had family over there, too. My family came over, my brother’s family came over for a while, and my sister and her husband came over. It was, overall I will say, really one of the best two weeks of my life.”
Korpisalo filled one of the nets on Tuesday; Michael DiPietro, who was recalled from Providence on an emergency basis, was in the other. The Bruins have 16 games in March and are gearing up for the heavy workload.
“It feels pretty good. Getting back to the U.S. just a couple days ago, getting used to the timezone now. And throughout the tournament, a lot of practice, a lot of practice time. Just getting prepared, getting back to it,” Korpisalo said. “Whenever the coach gives me the nod, I’ll go in and do my best. Now is go time. This last stretch is huge. Seeing how many teams are within [such] close points. Every game is huge.”
The Bruins’ first game back is on Thursday at TD Garden when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are four points back from the B’s, fighting for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

It will be Boston’s first game action in 22 days; their last matchup before the Olympic break was on Feb. 4 against the Florida Panthers.
“It’s not just for us, I think, for everyone in this league, it is a challenge. You totally get away from the game and from the environment that we have here, but also, the good things that were happening around our team. The focus, the play, on ice, off ice. It was fun to watch,” Sturm said.
“That is going to be our focus again to have that game one on Thursday. Because you don’t want to lose that. We put ourselves in a very, very good position right now, and we don’t want to lose it. We want to stay in the hunt, and we want to continue to play the same way we did in the past.”
“No Kings” rallies are scheduled in Boston and across Massachusetts on Saturday and are expected to draw large crowds, organizers said.
Organized by the ACLU of Massachusetts, Indivisible Mass Coalition, and Mass 50501, the event is a mass mobilization in protest of the Trump administration.
The No Kings theme was created by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.
“The Trump administration is trying to shred the Constitution; the No Kings movement is an unequivocal statement that we, the people, will not let that happen. This will be the third global No Kings Day, and it’s not just about protesting what’s wrong—it’s about building something better. We intend to show our power, build our power, and power a democracy that advances freedom, equality, justice, and dignity for all,” organizers wrote.
