Swayman will defend the visiting crease in Carolina on Thursday, according to Jim McBride of the Boston Globe.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman has struggled this season after missing all of training camp due to contract negotiations for the restricted free agent. Swayman is 3-3-1 with a 2.97 GAA and a .900 save percentage, the worst stats in his young career. He will get a chance to turn things around against a tough Carolina squad that has scored 27 goals in eight games.

Swayman made 20 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman came close to earning a regulation win, but Auston Matthews redirected a pass past him at 18:43 of the third period. The 25-year-old Swayman was excellent during a 5-on-3 power play for the Leafs in the first period when he turned away great shots from Matthews and William Nylander. Swayman ended his four-game winless skid to improve to 3-3-1 this season with a 2.97 GAA and a .900 save percentage.

Swayman will guard the home net Saturday against the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman's dropped his last four starts, allowing 13 goals on 130 shots in that span. The 25-year-old netminder will look to snap his losing streak against a Maple Leafs team that's scored just three goals in its last two games.

Swayman stopped 27 of 31 shots during Thursday's 5-2 loss to Dallas, with the Stars' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

EDGE Analysis

The netminder was put in some tough spots by an undisciplined Boston squad, as Dallas scored three straight power-play goals to begin the second period and blow open a 1-1 tie. Swayman has gone four straight starts without a win, posting an 0-3-1 record with a 3.27 GAA and .900 save percentage over that stretch, but his hold on the No. 1 job in the Bruins' crease is in little jeopardy -- Joonas Korpisalo has coughed up nine goals on 60 shots in his two appearances so far this season.

Swayman will protect the home crease versus Dallas on Thursday, according to Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman is 2-2-1 with a 2.77 GAA and a .911 save percentage in five starts this season. Swayman is in his first season as the undisputed No. 1 goaltender in Boston, but he is off to a slow start due to contract negotiations that were resolved a week before the start of the regular season, resulting in Swayman missing training camp. The Stars are averaging 2.93 goals per game this season.

Swayman gave up three goals on 41 shots in Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 6:04 left in the third period.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman has lost his last three starts, including one in overtime, and he's posted a 2.99 GAA with a .909 save percentage during the recent skid. Things won't get easier for Swayman and the Bruins, with an upcoming matchup against the Stars set for Thursday. It's unclear if he'll remain between the pipes or if he'll get some rest.

Swayman will protect the road goal Tuesday versus the Predators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman has started the year 2-1-1 with 11 goals allowed over four starts. The 25-year-old draws what looks to be a favorable matchup, as the Predators have started the season 0-5-0.

Swayman stopped 30 of 32 shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to Utah.

EDGE Analysis

It was a low-scoring game, though Boston led for about 22 minutes after Cole Koepke's second-period tally. Vladislav Kolyachonok tied it for Utah in the third period, and Michael Kesselring won it in overtime. Despite the defeat, Swayman remains in good shape as the Bruins' top goalie. He's 2-1-1 with 11 goals allowed on 116 shots across his four starts this season. The Bruins wrap up their three-game road trip Tuesday when they visit the winless Predators.

Swayman is on track to guard the road goal against Utah on Saturday, Joe McDonald of RIGAlinks.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman has gotten off to a rocky start, giving up four goals in two of his three starts. Swayman did not partake in the preseason as he didn't ink a contract until the end of training camp Oct. 6. The netminder is 2-1-0 with a 2.98 GAA and an .893 save percentage this season. He faces the upstart Utah HC, who are averaging 4.00 goals per game.

Swayman gave up four goals on 26 shots in a 4-3 defeat to Florida on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman stopped 19 of 21 shots at even strength while also giving up a power-play goal and a shorthanded goal to Sam Reinhart. It was the first loss of the year for the 25-year-old backstop but the second time in three games in which he has given up four goals to the opposition. The Bruins head into a three-game road trip starting against Colorado on Wednesday. It wouldn't be surprising to see Swayman take two of those contests while Joonas Korpisalo gets the other one -- though nothing has been confirmed by the club, and the Bruins have two days off between each game during the trip.
