Swayman made 18 saves in a 2-1 loss to the Islanders on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman wasn't perfect -- he'd like to have at least one of the goals back for the second game in a row. But the Bruins didn't score for him, either. Swayman has struggled all season long, and he has faced the ire of fans who are frustrated by his inconsistency. Swayman is 1-2-2 in his last five games with one shutout and two contests where he allowed at least four goals. He's not an automatic start right now given his struggles, but his personal brand and past reputation also make it hard to sit him.

Swayman is set to start in Thursday's home clash against the Islanders, per Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman will look to get back into the win column after posting a record of 0-1-2 across his past three starts. He also allowed 12 goals on 96 shots (.875 save percentage) in that span, giving him an 18-18-6 record, 3.02 GAA and .897 save percentage in 42 outings in 2024-25. The Islanders rank 27th in goals per game with 2.70.

Swayman made 24 saves in a 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins gave Swayman a three-goal cushion by the mid-point of the second period before the Maple Leafs turned up the heat and roared back to force OT. Swayman has been one of the busiest netminders in 2025, making 427 saves. He's behind only Andrei Vaskilevskiy (479) and Joey Daccord (427) more the most saves since 2025 started.

Swayman was the first goalie to leave the ice Tuesday, indicating he'll guard the home cage versus the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman is stuck in a two-game losing streak during which he posted a 3.44 GAA and an .896 save percentage. Despite the recent slump, the 26-year-old netminder needs just two more wins to reach the 20-win mark for the fourth straight year and could top the personal best of 25 he recorded last season.

Swayman saved 26 of the 29 shots he faced in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Outside the final three minutes of the first period, Swayman kept Boston's net tidy until Leo Carlsson's game-winner in the extra period. The 26-year-old netminder holds an 18-18-5 record with a 2.98 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Swayman traveled with Team USA during the 4 Nations Face-Off but did not make an appearance in net. Boston should challenge for a playoff spot in the Atlantic, meaning Swayman will continue to see plenty of reps moving forward. His next opportunity to guard the crease is on home ice Tuesday against the Maple Leafs.

Swayman will defend the home blue paint against Anaheim on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman is 18-1-8-4 with three shutouts, a 2.98 GAA and an .898 save percentage across 40 starts this season. He has struggled this season after missing training camp in a contract dispute, and while he has played well during stretches of time in 2024-25, he has not come close to his play over the previous three campaigns. He could have an easier time of things Saturday, as the Ducks are last in NHL scoring, averaging 2.48 goals per game this season.

Swayman saved 34 of the 38 shots he faced in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman allowed one goal in the first two periods before Vegas got the best of Boston's goaltender, grabbing two goals in the third to seal the win. With the loss, Swayman has an 18-18-4 record with a 2.98 GAA and a .898 save percentage in 40 games this season. The 2024-25 campaign has presented trouble for Swayman, who already has a new career-high in regulation losses. On the contrary, this is his first season as a true No. 1 option in the crease and he is on pace to break his career high of single-season appearances of 44 outings. With the Bruins in the mix for a playoff spot in the Atlantic, Swayman should continue to see a large volume of opportunities in net, giving him strong value in fantasy.

Swayman will patrol the home crease versus Vegas on Saturday, according to Andrew Fantucchio of Boston Hockey Now.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman has won his last two starts, including a 36-save shutout against the Wild on Tuesday. He is 18-17-4 with three shutouts, a 2.95 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Vegas has generated 3.27 goals per game, fifth in the NHL in 2024-25.

Swayman made 35 saves in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old netminder recorded his third shutout of the season, and his first since Dec. 28. Swayman continues to struggle with his consistency, and the pressure of living up to the big contract extension he signed right before the season started could still be weighing him down. Through 12 outings since the beginning of January, he's gone 5-6-1 with a 3.07 GAA and .910 save percentage.

Swayman will patrol the home blue paint against the Wild on Tuesday, Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman has alternated wins and losses over his last four outings, allowing at least three goals in three of those games. He made 22 saves on 25 shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rangers. Minnesota is tied for 17th in the NHL with 2.89 goals per game this season.
