Swayman was called up from AHL Providence on Monday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Tuukka Rask dealing with a lower-body issue, Swayman was brought back up to potentially backup Linus Ullmark versus Pittsburgh on Tuesday. In 17 appearances this year, the 23-year-old Swayman has posted an 8-6-2 record with one shutout and a 2.31 GAA. If Rask misses any significant time, Swayman could be in line to make some starts but figures to primarily serve as the No. 2 option.
