Swayman kicked out 29 of 30 shots Thursday in a 5-1 win over Buffalo.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old rookie gave up an Arttu Ruotsalainen goal from point-blank range early in second period and that was it. It was the third straight victory for Swayman, who has won five of his six starts since being recalled from AHL Providence in early April, posting a sensational 1.65 GAA and .943 save percentage.

Swayman will guard the road goal during Thursday's matchup with the Sabres, Joe Haggerty of BostonHockeyNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman was fantastic in his last start Friday against the Islanders, turning aside all 25 shots he faced en route to an impressive 3-0 victory and his first career shutout. The 21-year-old rookie will try to pick up a third straight win in a favorable road matchup with a Buffalo squad that's 5-15-4 at home this year.

Swayman is "tentatively slotted" to start Thursday's game against the Sabres , Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, Tuukka Rask will start Tuesday and likely again versus the Sabres on Friday, while Swayman's projected Thursday turn hinges on the availability of Jaroslav Halak, who was removed from COVID protocol this past Saturday. Given how well Swayman has played in his stint with the Bruins, the team can afford not to rush Halak back into the lineup, but once he's ready to go, look for Swayman to be returned to AHL Providence, where he'd be in line to work in a rotation with Daniel Vladar.

Swayman turned aside all 25 shots he faced in Friday's 3-0 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie continues to shine, collecting his first NHL shutout and his fourth win in his first five starts for Boston. Swayman should remain in the mix in net for the Bruins as long as Jaroslav Halak (COVID-19) is out of action -- and perhaps even afterward, as he's impressed with a 1.78 GAA and .938 save percentage.

Swayman will start Friday's game versus the Islanders, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman will start the second half of a back-to-back. Tuukka Rask (upper body) picked up a win in Thursday's 4-1 victory over the Islanders. With Jaroslav Halak (COVID-19 protocol) still out, Swayman appears set to be the Bruins' primary backup for now.

Swayman made 21 saves in regulation and overtime and stopped both shootout attempts he faced in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie wasn't particularly tested but he came up big when it mattered to secure the win for the Bruins. Swayman has won three of his first four NHL starts with a 2.22 GAA and .926 save percentage, but Tuukka Rask (upper body) could be back to reclaim the No. 1 job in the Boston net as soon as Thursday against the Islanders.

Swayman is slated to start Tuesday night's game against the Sabres, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Tuukka Rask appears to be nearing a return from an upper-body injury, Swayman will get the nod in net Tuesday, with Jaroslav Halak (COVID-19 protocols) still unavailable. As bad as the Bruins looked in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Capitals, a bounce back figures to be in order versus the last-place Sabres, with Boston welcoming trade acquisitions Taylor Hall and Mike Reilly to the lineup and top blueliner Charlie McAvoy (upper body) poised to return to action.

Swayman is expected to start Tuesday night's game against the Sabres, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jaroslav Halak (COVID-19 protocols) still unavailable and Tuukka Rask working his way back from an upper-body injury, it appears as though Swayman will draw the start Tuesday against the Sabres, who are last in the NHL standings with 26 points.

Swayman turned aside 20 shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

After winning his first two NHL starts, Swayman looked more like a rookie in this one, giving up a juicy rebound that led to Philly's first goal and then over-committing to Joel Farabee in the slot on the game-winner, leaving Sean Couturier with a wide-open cage after Farabee calmly passed the puck instead of shooting. Swayman still has a sharp 2.35 GAA and .929 save percentage to begin his career, but with Tuukka Rask (upper body) potentially returning to action early next week, the 22-year-old's current stint as the Bruins' No. 1 netminder could be drawing to a close.

EDGE Analysis

The Bruins will thus ride the hot hand with Swayman, who has started the team's last two games, both of which were Boston wins in which the rookie allowed two goals en route to racking up a total of 71 saves in that span. When the Bruins face the Capitals on Sunday, either Daniel Vladar or Tuukka Rask (upper body) will make the start. Once Rask is activated off injured reserve, either Swayman or Vladar figure to head back to the AHL, but another strong outing from Swayman on Saturday could make it hard for Boston to send him to the minors, so long as Jaroslav Halak (COVID-19 protocols) remains unavailable.
