Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Comes out flat against Jackets
Rotowire
Swayman stopped 24 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Columbus struck three times in the first period, and while Swayman wasn't directly responsible for that deficit -- all three goals were scored on the counterattack after Boston gave the puck away in the offensive zone -- he also didn't come up with any big saves to bail out his squad. The 25-year-old has just one win in his last five starts, stumbling to a 4.01 GAA and an .866 save percentage over that stretch with a 1-3-1 record. Swayman could begin to cede more work to Joonas Korpisalo until he turns things around.

Boston was down 2-0 heading into the third period, but Swayman shut the door in the final frame while David Pastrnak led a comeback. The 25-year-old netminder seems to have put a bumpy October behind him as he felt the weight of his big contract extension, and through four starts to begin November, Swayman is 2-1-1 with a 2.00 GAA and .924 save percentage.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Needs more help from teammates
Rotowire
Swayman made 23 saves in a 4-0 loss to Toronto on Tuesday. He allowed three goals.
Swayman has been solid enough this year, but he's playing in a different context than he has in past seasons. And that spells struggle. The Bruins' blue line has been a shadow of its past self, and the newly-arrived Nikita Zadorov looks a bit lost as he learns the team's systems. And that has contributed to Swayman's 2-5-1 record in his last eight starts. He's a strong goalie, but he will have to do more of the work himself to get strong ratios for you.

The 25-year-old Swayman has a 3-4-1 record with a 3.57 GAA and an .884 save percentage through eight appearances this season. Seattle is tied for 17th in the league with 3.00 goals per game in 2024-25.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Gets hook in Carolina
Rotowire
Swayman gave up six goals on 22 shots before being replaced by Joonas Korpisalo midway through the second period of Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
Four of the six tallies against Swayman came when Boston was down a man, either shorthanded or on a delayed penalty call, and the switch in the crease had little to do with his own performance. Even so, the 25-year-old goalie has dropped four of his last five decisions, and he sports a 3-4-1 record through eight starts with a shaky 3.58 GAA and .884 save percentage. However, Swayman's spot at the top of the depth chart seems secure, both due to his hefty new contract and the fact that Korpisalo is putting very little pressure on him for the No. 1 job.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Falls to Stars
Rotowire
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.
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.

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.

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

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.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Tending twine Monday
Rotowire
Swayman will defend the home cage against the Panthers on Monday, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Swayman is riding a two-game winning streak to open the season while posting a 2.44 GAA and .914 save percentage. The 25-year-old backstop will face his stiffest test of the season Monday versus the defending Stanley Cup champions -- though Florida will be without Aleksander Barkov (lower body) and Matthew Tkachuk (illness). With Swayman not having gotten any work in during preseason, it wouldn't be surprising to see Joonas Korpisalo take one game during the Bruins' upcoming three-game road trip.

Rotowire
Swayman will defend the home crease versus Montreal on Thursday, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.
Swayman will make his first start of the season after inking an eight-year contract Sunday.

Swayman was outstanding last year, going 25-10-8 with a 2.53 GAA and a .916 save percentage in 44 regular-season appearances. He faces the Canadiens, who beat the Maple Leafs 1-0 on Wednesday, despite giving up 47 shots on goal.
