Swayman will get the starting nod for Monday's preseason game against Philadelphia, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman dazzled in 10 regular-season appearances during the 2020-21 campaign, going 7-3-0 with a 1.50 GAA and a .945 save percentage. He'll likely begin this season as Linus Ullmark's backup but should see a healthy amount of action.

Swayman is starting in goal for the Bruins in Thursday night's exhibition game against the Flyers, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman appeared in 10 games last season as part of the Bruins' taxi squad. He went 7-3 in those 10 starts, posting a 1.50 GAA, .945 save percentage and recorded two shutouts. He'll receive the start in Thursday night's exhibition game with a chance to possibly earn himself some added starts in year two.

Swayman came off the bench to stop two of three shots in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Islanders in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman relieved Tuukka Rask (undisclosed) at the start of the third period with the Bruins trailing 4-2. He was beaten by Brock Nelson just 1:59 into the frame and faced minimal action the rest of the way. Not much was known about Rask's status immediately following the game, but Swayman would receive his first career playoff start if Rask is unable to go for Game 6 on Wednesday. The 22-year-old Swayman enjoyed a splendid regular season after his recall from AHL Providence, going 7-3-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .945 save percentage in 10 appearances.

Swayman turned aside 30 of 32 shots in a 2-1 loss to Washington on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman got tagged with the loss when Washington's Michael Raffl beat him from a difficult angle with two seconds left in the third period. The rookie was sharp otherwise, continuing a stellar run that began with his early-April call-up. Boston coach Bruce Cassidy indicated that Swayman, and not veteran Jaroslav Halak, will back up Tuukka Rask when Boston opens the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Swayman is 7-3-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .945 save percentage.

Swayman is expected to start Tuesday's game against the Capitals, coach Bruce Cassidy announced Sunday, Eric Russo of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tuukka Rask will get the nod for Boston's penultimate game Monday against the Islanders before Swayman takes Tuesday's season finale against Washington. Cassidy added that he's yet to decide whether Swayman or Jaroslav Halak will back up Rask in the postseason, but the rookie seems to have the upper hand in that race. Halak hasn't won a game since April 3, making just two appearances since then, while Swayman has started his career with a 7-2-0 record, 1.44 GAA and .946 save percentage.

Swayman was promoted to the active roster Saturday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman backed up Tuukka Rask for Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers, but the former didn't play in the contest. The Bruins have a back-to-back versus the Islanders on Monday and in Washington on Tuesday, so Swayman may get one more start in the regular season.

Swayman was reassigned to the taxi squad Friday, according to CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman has been outstanding to start his NHL career, going 7-2-0 with a 1.44 GAA and a .946 save percentage. He'll likely be recalled before the end of the season and see another start. The 22-year-old likely won't begin the playoffs as the starter but he'll have a chance to jump in if Tuukka Rask shows any signs of struggling.

Swayman set aside all 15 shots he faced in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The stifling Boston defense made life easy for Swayman against a depleted Rangers team, but the rookie deserves credit for staying focused and setting aside the few shots he faced. It's been a dream start to his NHL career for Swayman, who improved to 7-2-0 with a 1.44 GAA and .946 save percentage. Tuukka Rask has earned the right to go into the postseason as Boston's No. 1 goalie, but any minor wobble from Rask could open the door for Swayman to step into the spotlight.

Swayman will start Thursday night's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Beyond Thursday, Joe Haggerty of BostonHockeyNow.com relays that Tuukka Rask will start Saturday afternoon's game against the Rangers. Since making his NHL starting debut April 6, Swayman has recorded a 6-2 record with a 1.62 GAA and .942 save percentage. As the postseason approaches, he appears to have supplanted Jaroslav Halak as the Bruins' preferred backup goalie behind Rask.

Swayman was assigned to the taxi squad Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

Swayman has started to work his way into a split of the No. 2 role with Jaroslav Halak. The 22-year-old Swayman has a 1.62 GAA and a .942 save percentage in eight appearances this season.
