Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Takes OT loss in season finale
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 21 shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Devils.
He didn't look good on a Simon Nemec tally in the second period, but otherwise Swayman was once again let down by his defense. The 26-year-old wraps up his first season as Boston's unquestioned No. 1 goalie with a 22-29-7 record, 3.11 GAA and .892 save percentage, and it remains to be seen whether the Bruins will embrace a youth movement this offseason, or try to bolster the roster around Swayman with veterans to provide a quicker fix.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Looking to finish season strong
Rotowire
Swayman will tend the home twine Tuesday versus the Devils, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.
Swayman will make his 58th and last appearance in Boston's final game of 2024-25 -- he's sporting a 22-29-6 record, 3.08 GAA and .894 save percentage. It'll go down as a lost season for Swayman and the Bruins alike, but they'll have an opportunity to end the campaign on a high note against a Devils squad that has netted just four goals across its last three games, all of which were losses.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Fades late in Thursday's loss
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 16 of 20 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Chicago, with the final goal by the Hawks getting scored into an empty net.
The game was tied 1-1 heading into the third period, but Chicago somehow scored on its only four shots in the final frame to put the game away. Swayman is having a miserable end to his first full season as the Bruins' No. 1 goalie, going 2-8-0 over his last 10 outings with a 3.93 GAA and .869 save percentage.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Wins second straight start
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 19 of 21 shots on net in Tuesday's 7-2 win over New Jersey.
Swayman was near perfect Tuesday outside of a 19-second collapse in the second period, where he surrendered New Jersey's only goals of the night. With the win, the 26-year-old netminder has a 22-28-6 record with a 3.06 GAA and a .895 save percentage in 56 appearances this season. While Swayman will likely chalk this campaign as a year to forget, he should have a few more opportunities to end the regular season on a high note. Boston's top goaltender has wins in back-to-back games and will look to extend this winning streak in one of Boston's final three regular-season outings. His next opportunity to guard the crease is at home Thursday against Chicago.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Back in net Saturday
Rotowire
Swayman will start Saturday's home matchup with the Hurricanes.
Swayman will be looking to snap his seven-game losing streak Saturday -- he's struggled to an .850 save percentage with a 4.66 GAA in that span. Overall, the 26-year-old netminder is 20-28-6 with a 3.12 GAA and an .892 save percentage in 54 appearances this season. Carolina sits seventh in the league with 3.28 goals per game in 2024-25.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Can't perform miracles
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 28 shots in a 4-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday.
He allowed three goals. It was a tough game for Swayman and the Bruins, who faced a Bell Centre crowd that were whipped into a playoff-like frenzy. Boston has sunk like a stone lately -- the team is 0-9-1 in its last 10 games with seven straight losses. And with a minus-55 goal differential, Swayman simply can't be a miracle man. Sit him. Maybe for the rest of the season.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: In goal Thursday
Rotowire
Swayman will get the starting nod on the road against Montreal on Thursday, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.
Swayman is currently mired in a six-game losing streak in which he's posted a 4.97 GAA and .840 save percentage. With the Bruins currently sitting last in the Eastern Conference, the team could decide to split the workload down the stretch to avoid putting too much on the 26-year-old backstop's plate. Despite the slump, Swayman has already reached the 20-win threshold for the fourth straight year.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Struggles continue Tuesday
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 28 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
The Capitals scored on Swayman twice in the first period, including a tally by Alex Ovechkin, who moved one goal closer to breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time record. Swayman then let in two more goals during the third period. The Bruins have been slumping of late to the tune of nine straight defeats, and Swayman has played in six of those matchups, going 0-6-0 with an inflated 4.97 GAA and a subpar .840 save percentage over that stretch.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Keeps stumbling in loss to Kings
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 16 of 23 shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
Joonas Korpisalo played all of Saturday's loss to the Sharks, leaving Swayman to stay in for all of this lopsided defeat. This was the third time in 2024-25 that Swayman has allowed at least seven goals, and he's given up a total of 20 tallies during a four-game losing streak. He's down to 20-25-6 with a 3.12 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 51 appearances. It's a lost year for both Swayman and the Bruins, but he's still likely to see a decent share of playing time to close it out. The road trip continues Wednesday in Anaheim, but Swayman's recent play has made him too unreliable for fantasy managers.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Tending twine in Los Angeles
Rotowire
Swayman will serve as the starting netminder for Sunday's road game against Los Angeles, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Swayman has struggled in recent outings, going 0-3-0 with a 5.65 GAA and .847 save percentage over his last three starts. He'll attempt to turn things around against the Kings, who are tied for 20th in the NHL with 2.87 goals per game this season.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Torched for five goals
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 27 of 32 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Swayman took his third straight loss and has allowed 13 goals in that span. The 26-year-old played well for the first half of the game, but the Golden Knights found some traction in the second period before pouring it on in the third. Swayman is down to 20-24-6 with a 3.04 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 50 appearances. The Bruins have a back-to-back this weekend with games against the Sharks on Saturday and the Kings on Sunday. Whoever between Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo gets the start Saturday has a good matchup, but both should probably be avoided by fantasy managers for the second half of the back-to-back.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Gets starting nod Thursday

Swayman will guard the cage on the road versus Vegas on Thursday, Jim McBride of The Globe reports.
Swayman enters this contest mired in a two-game losing streak in which he gave up eight goals on 53 shots (.849 save percentage). With a back-to-back around the corner, the 26-year-old backstop will likely split the starts against San Jose and Los Angeles on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, with Joonas Korpisalo.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Ice tilted at him all night long
Rotowire
Swayman made 34 saves Saturday in a 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay. The Lightning's final two goals were scored on an empty net.
Swayman had the rink tilted at him all game long -- Andrei Vasilevskiy saw just 12 shots (two goals). Swayman can't do it alone, and that's exactly what it felt like Saturday -- the Bruins didn't show up. That means Swayman could have a rough ride to the season's end, and that could negatively impact your fantasy playoff run.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Gets hook Thursday
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 11 of 15 shots before being replaced by Joonas Korpisalo to begin the second period of Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Senators.
The final two Ottawa goals against Swayman came just 22 seconds apart late in the opening frame, and while the netminder wasn't necessarily at fault for either, interim head coach Joe Sacco had seen enough. Swayman's had a rough time since the 4 Nations Face-Off, going 2-4-2 in eight starts with a 2.99 GAA and an .888 save percentage, and while Boston remains in the hunt for a wild-card spot, the team will need better play in its own end -- both in the crease and from its skaters -- if it's going to make the postseason.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Between pipes Thursday
Rotowire
Swayman will tend the twine on the road versus Ottawa on Thursday, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Swayman is riding a two-game winning streak during which he has posted a .962 save percentage (51 of 53 saves), including a shutout over the Lightning. The netminder's improved form follows a six-game losing streak in which he went 0-4-2 with a 3.32 GAA. At this point, the Bruins seem content to give the bulk of the workload to Swayman, leaving Joonas Korpisalo to watch from the bench more often than not.

Swayman will guard the road crease Saturday versus the Lightning, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.
Swayman will make his 46th appearance of the season -- the 26-year-old has an 18-21-6 record, .896 save percentage and 3.00 GAA over 45 starts. Tampa Bay is tied for first in the NHL with 3.60 goals per game this season. It won't get easier for Swayman down the stretch after Boston dealt away multiple core pieces at Friday's trade deadline.

Swayman will guard the cage at home against Nashville on Tuesday, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.
Swayman is mired in a five-game losing streak in which he posted a 0-3-2 record, 2.97 GAA and .891 save percentage. The Alaskan-born netminder has certainly been let down by his offense in some of those contests -- a problem that may get worse following news of Brad Marchand's (upper body) long-term injury.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Tough luck loss to Isles
Rotowire
Swayman made 18 saves in a 2-1 loss to the Islanders on Thursday.
Swayman wasn't perfect -- he'd like to have at least one of the goals back for the second game in a row - but the Bruins didn't score for him, either. Swayman has struggled all season long, and he has faced the ire of fans who are frustrated by his inconsistency. Swayman is 1-2-2 in his last five games with one shutout and two contests where he allowed at least four goals. He's not an automatic start right now given his struggles, but his personal brand and past reputation also make it hard to sit him.

Rotowire
Swayman is set to start in Thursday's home clash against the Islanders, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.
Swayman will look to get back into the win column after posting a record of 0-1-2 across his past three starts. He also allowed 12 goals on 96 shots (.875 save percentage) in that span, giving him an 18-18-6 record, 3.02 GAA and .897 save percentage in 42 outings in 2024-25. The Islanders rank 27th in goals per game with 2.70.
