Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Leaves ice first Wednesday
Rotowire
Swayman was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports, indicating he'll tend the twine on the road for Game 3 against the Maple Leafs.
Swayman was fantastic in Game 1, stopping 35 of 36 shots in a victory over Toronto. Despite his strong performance, the Bruins stuck to their goalie rotation, going with Linus Ullmark for Game 2. If the 25-year-old Swayman puts together another winning effort, he could force coach Jim Montgomery to reconsider his rotational approach.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Stellar in win
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 35 of 36 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1.
Swayman ended the season with a pair of losses, but he was good overall with a 25-10-8 record, a 2.53 GAA and a .916 save percentage. He was dialed in Saturday, stopping everything but a David Kampf tally in the third period. After the game, head coach Jim Montgomery said it would be "hard to go away from" Swayman for Game 2 on Monday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports. Montgomery almost always alternated starts between Swayman and Linus Ullmark in the regular season, but he may have hinted at going with the hot hand in the playoffs, at least in the first round.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Falls to Capitals
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 23 of 24 shots in Monday's 2-0 loss to Washington.
Swayman was excellent Monday, holding the Caps to a John Carlson goal in the first period. However, the Bruins could generate only 16 shots on offense in an eventual 2-0 shutout loss. The 25-year-old netminder has dropped consecutive starts after winning three of his prior four outings. With Linus Ullmark likely to start in Boston's season finale Tuesday, Swayman is poised to wrap up the regular season at 25-10-8 with a .916 save percentage and a 2.53 GAA.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Comes up short against Carolina
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 22 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
The 25-year-old netminder held Carolina off the board in the first period, but things began to unravel for Boston after Andrei Svechnikov scored a Michigan goal midway through the second frame. Swayman is stumbling to the finish line on the regular season -- he's given up at least three goals in five of his last seven starts, going 4-3-0 with a 3.12 GAA and .874 save percentage over that stretch.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Between pipes Tuesday
Rotowire
Swayman will guard the cage at home versus Carolina on Tuesday.
Swayman is riding a three-game winning streak during which he posted a 1.95 GAA and a .914 save percentage. The 25-year-old backstop should continue to split the starts with Linus Ullmark the rest of the way, though it seems unlikely the divided workload will continue into the postseason. As such, Swayman will no doubt be hoping to secure his place as the Game 1 starter.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Notches win No. 25
Rotowire
Swayman made 28 saves in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
The 25-year-old netminder set a new career high with his 25th win of the season. Swayman has gone 6-2-0 in eight starts since the beginning of March with a 2.49 GAA, but that's largely been thanks to the Bruins' stingy defense as he has a .905 save percentage over that stretch. With Boston still in the mix to claim the top seed in the Eastern Conference, expect Swayman and Linus Ullmark to remain in their timeshare over the team's final handful of games.

Rotowire
Swayman made 18 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Panthers.

Swayman stopped 26 of 29 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers, with New York's final two goals coming into an empty net.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Gets win despite allowing five
Rotowire
Swayman made 24 saves in a 6-5 win over the Flyers on Saturday.
The game was knotted 2-2 headed into the third, but the Bruins got three quick goals in under three minutes early in the frame and held the lead for the rest of the game.

All the same, he's 6-1-1 in his last eight starts and 22-7-8 overall with a 2.56 GAA and a .917 save percentage. Swayman is strengthening his case as one of the league's best young netminders.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Wants fight, gets win instead
Rotowire
Swayman made 28 saves in a 4-1 win over Toronto on Thursday.
The only goal that made it past him came off the stick of Mitchell Marner on a second-period power play. Swayman has beaten the Leafs twice this week, allowing just one goal in each of the two wins. And he has delivered a 21-6-8 record in 35 starts this season, recording a 2.45 GAA and .922 save percentage. In an interesting turn, Swayman tried to goad Toronto netminder Joseph Woll into a fight late in the game when the rest of the players got into a scrum in the Leafs' end of the ice. Swayman skated to center ice and challenged Woll, who declined. This isn't new to Swayman, who skated out and challenged Montreal's Sam Montembault to a tilt in November. Swayman's time for fisticuffs could come eventually and Boston fans would love it, but fantasy managers would prefer a safer approach to his game. No need to lose him to a stupid fighting injury.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Hangs on for win Thursday
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 32 shots in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Golden Knights.

Rotowire
Swayman stopped 36 of 39 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

The 25-year-old netminder would wind up with the loss when Boeser added a second goal on a power play in overtime. Swayman had won back-to-back starts coming into Saturday, though the Bruins' defense hasn't been doing him any favors -- he's now faced 127 shots over his last three outings. Swayman falls to 18-6-8 with a .920 save percentage and a 2.49 GAA on the season.
