Swayman will protect the home goal in Friday's matinee against the Rangers, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed Swayman as Friday's starter after the 23-year-old goalie turned aside 24 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Sabres. Swayman will likely face a bit more of a challenge Friday, but he's been up to the task this year with a 2,23 GAA and a .914 save percentage in nine outings.
