Swayman was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald, putting him on track to guard the road goal in Wednesday's Game 2 versus Florida.
EDGE Analysis
Swayman was exceptional in Monday's Game 1, turning aside 38 of 39 shots en route to a convincing 5-1 win. As long as the 25-year-old netminder continues to play at this level, it seems unlikely coach Jim Montgomery will go back to the rotation between Swayman and Linus Ullmark he utilized to open the Bruins' first-round series versus Toronto.

Swayman stopped 38 of 39 shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 1 of the second round.
EDGE Analysis
A turnover led to the Panthers' lone goal in the second period, which was scored by Matthew Tkachuk. Swayman was otherwise stellar again, as he allowed a single goal for the fourth time in seven playoffs outings. His other three starts have seen him give up just two tallies each time. Swayman is 5-2 with a 1.42 GAA and a .955 save percentage this postseason, and he should be considered a near lock to start in Game 2 on Wednesday.

Swayman will guard the road goal Monday in Game 1 against Florida, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Swayman was excellent in the first round of the postseason against Toronto, stopping 172 of 181 shots en route to a 4-2 record. Florida ranks third in the playoffs with 4.00 goals per contest.

Swayman stopped 30 of 31 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 7.
EDGE Analysis
Swayman was in net for all four of the Bruins' first-round wins, and he allowed a total of just nine goals over his six appearances versus Toronto. He battled Ilya Samsonov for nearly 50 minutes before William Nylander and Hampus Lindholm exchanged goals midway through the third period. Swayman didn't have to keep it tied for long in overtime, as David Pastrnak tucked home the game-winner 1:54 into the extra session. Swayman has likely earned the opportunity to be the starter in the second round versus the Panthers, who boast an intimidating offense that may make it difficult for the 25-year-old to replicate his first-round results.

Swayman will protect the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday in Game 7, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swayman will make his fifth straight start despite losing his last two games. During the first round, Swayman has been excellent despite a lack of goal support in recent games. He's given up just eight goals on 150 shots over five appearances.

Swayman stopped 24 of 26 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Swayman has lost back-to-back games, but he still hasn't given up more than two goals in any of his five first-round starts. William Nylander had both tallies Thursday, scoring in the final minute of the second period on a deflected shot and adding another goal late in the third. With the Bruins facing Game 7, it's unclear if head coach Jim Montgomery will stick with Swayman or switch to Linus Ullmark on Saturday.

Swayman is slated to tend the twine on the road in Game 6 against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Swayman has been solid in his last five outings, posting a 1.40 GAA and .953 save percentage while going 3-2-0. After the Game 5 loss Tuesday, there was certainly a chance the Bruins would turn back to Linus Ullmark, however, they will continue to ride Swayman into Game 6.

Swayman stopped 31 shots Tuesday in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 5 of the Bruins' first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Making his third straight start for Boston, Swayman played well but didn't get a lot of help from his teammates at either end of the ice. The 25-year-old netminder has a stellar 1.49 GAA and .952 save percentage in his four playoff starts so far, but it's not clear if coach Jim Montgomery will turn back to Linus Ullmark for Game 6 on Thursday.

Swayman will protect the home net Tuesday in Game 5 against Toronto, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.
EDGE Analysis
Swayman is coming off a 24-save effort in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4. He has posted a 3-0 record this postseason, stopping 87 of 91 shots during that span. The Bruins can advance to the second round of the playoffs with a victory in Tuesday's matchup.

Swayman stopped 24 of 25 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Swayman has all three of the Bruins' wins so far in the playoffs, having allowed just four goals on 91 shots in his three starts. He started consecutive games for the first time since February 19-21, and it looks like he's now the Bruins' preferred starter. The 25-year-old will likely be between the pipes again for Tuesday's Game 5 with a chance to send Toronto packing.
