Swayman will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman will make his second start of the season after earning a 3-2 win over the Predators last Saturday. The 24-year-old appears to be right back into an even split of playing time with Linus Ullmark, who has allowed just one goal in each of his two wins so far. Swayman remains a solid fantasy play behind a strong defense.

Swayman turned aside 33 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

After Linus Ullmark looked sharp in Boston's opener, Swayman got his turn and was just as impressive, with only Colton Sissons getting a puck past him on the night -- although the Nashville checking forward did it twice, the second coming on a tipped point shot. Swayman saw action in 37 games last season compared to Ullmark's 49, but if the senior netminder regresses at all from his Vezina Trophy form of 2022-23, the workload split could be closer to 50/50 this time around.

Swayman will guard the home net Saturday against the Predators, per Ty Anderson of 98.5 The Sports Hub.

EDGE Analysis

After Linus Ullmark started in the opener, the Bruins will turn to Swayman on Saturday against Nashville. The 24-year-old Swayman posted a 24-6-4 record last season with four shutouts, a 2.27 GAA and a .920 save percentage in 37 appearances. It appears as though he will split work with Ullmark again during the 2023-24 campaign.

Swayman was awarded a one-year, $3.475 million contract with Boston on Tuesday by an independent arbitrator, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman posted a 24-6-4 record last season with four shutouts, a 2.27 GAA and a .920 save percentage over 37 appearances. He shared the crease with 2023 Vezina Trophy winner Linus Ullmark, which will likely be the case again next campaign. The goaltending duo of the Bruins won the William M. Jennings Trophy after allowing a league-low 177 goals against during the 2022-23 regular season.

Swayman stopped 27 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Panthers in Game 7 of the Bruins' first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

Getting his first start of the postseason, Swayman fell behind 2-0 early in the second period, but the netminder regained his focus and saw Boston roar back to take a 3-2 lead in the third, only for things to fall apart in stunning fashion for the Presidents' Trophy winners. Swayman took a back seat to Linus Ullmark this year but still posted strong numbers (2.37 GAA and .920 save percentage) over 37 regular-season appearances. That arrangement figures to continue in 2023-24. Swayman will need a new contract as a restricted free agent this summer.

Swayman will face the Panthers at home for Sunday's Game 7 matchup, EElliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman will make his first start since April 13 after Linus Ullmark started the first six games of the series. After the Panthers won Games 5 and 6 to force a Game 7, the Bruins will turn to Swayman, who posted a 2.27 GAA and a .920 save percentage during the regular season. He struggled against Florida during the regular season though, going 0-1-1 while allowing eight goals on 67 in two games.

Contrary to an earlier report, Swayman will serve as the backup goaltender in Friday's road game against Florida, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman was initially expected to start Friday because Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) was questionable for the contest. However, Ullmark will instead play between the pipes for the third straight game. Swayman had a 24-6-4 record, 2.27 GAA and .920 save percentage in 37 outings during the regular season, so he's a solid alternative if the Bruins need him during their playoff run.

Swayman is expected to start in Florida on Friday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman should make his first appearance of the playoffs after Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) was between the pipes for the first two games of the best-of-seven series. Swayman was 24-6-4 with a 2.27 GAA and .920 save percentage this season. Swayman was 0-1-1 against the Panthers this season, giving up eight goals on 67 shots.

Swayman (illness) will dress as Linus Ullmark's backup Monday against the Panthers, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman was considered a game-time decision due to his illness but he's healthy enough to suit up on the bench. The Bruins will turn to Ullmark to begin their postseason run. Swayman finished the regular season with a strong 2.27 GAA and .920 save percentage through 37 games.

Swayman (illness) is expected to be a game-time decision for Game 1 against Florida on Monday after taking part in Bruins' optional morning skate, WBZ Boston Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman and Linus Ullmark (illness) are both under the weather, so a starter for Monday's series opener may not be determined until closer to game time. The Bruins recalled netminder Brandon Bussi from AHL Providence on Monday under emergency conditions.
