Boston Bruins News

Swayman has continued his excellent play, but the Bruins' struggles offensively have hindered his effectiveness. The 27-year-old Swayman saved 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in his most recent outing, but did not receive enough goal support, losing 3-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has lost three of his last five games (2-3-0) despite posting a serviceable 2.60 GAA and .906 SV%. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +166 road underdogs against the Carolina Hurricanes team, coming off a disappointing 6-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators.

Swayman allowed three goals in the first period of his previous outing, but shut the door the rest of the way en route to a 22-save performance (.880 SV%) in a 4-3 shootout win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 27-year-old Swayman concluded March with a tremendous 2.15 GAA and .925 SV% in 11 games (8-2-1). The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as -162 road favourites against a Panthers team coming off a surprisingly dominant 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.
