Brandon Bussi was recalled on Thursday to backup Linus Ullmark as Swayman was out of the lineup battling an illness. The starting goalie has not been announced yet for Saturday's contest against the Arizona Coyotes but if called upon, Swayman will be ready to suit up after returning to practice on Friday. Swayman has been tremendous lately, saving 50 of the last 51 shots he has faced (.980 SV%) during a two-game winning streak.

Brandon Bussi will likely serve as the Bruins' backup on Thursday as Swayman is dealing with an illness. Swayman's absence from the lineup shouldn't linger much longer, which is great news for the Bruins since he has been tremendous lately, saving 50 of the last 51 shots he has faced (.980 SV%) during a two-game winning streak.

Swayman will get the call for the back-end of the Boston's back-to-back after Linus Ullmark got the start in Toronto on Saturday. Swayman pitched a shutout his last time out, stopping all 26 shots he faced in a 3-0 victory over the Sharks on Thursday. The 25-year-old Swayman has been outstanding this season, registering a 2.17 GAA and a .930 SV% to go along with his 8-1-2 record. He is in a great spot to keep things rolling on Sunday with the Bruins being -250 favourites over the Blue Jackets.

Jim Montgomery and the Bruins coaching staff have favoured Swayman over Linus Ullmark in recent weeks and will continue that trend on Thursday as Swayman will start for the fifth time in the last seven games. Swayman has been the more consistent of the two goalies this season but has struggled lately, as has the entire team, failing to record a victory in three straight games (0-1-1), posting a subpar .882 SV% in the process. The Bruins will look for only their second win in six games (1-3-1) against a low-scoring San Jose Sharks team (1.64 GF / GP) that has played significantly better lately, winning three of their last six (3-2-1).

Swayman will be back between the pipes for the Bruins on Monday after Linus Ullmark took the loss in Saturday's 7-4 defeat to the Rangers. Swayman's last appearance was a 5-2 loss to the Red Wings on Friday, when he surrendered four goals on just 28 shots. It was an uncharacteristically poor start from Swayman, but he still owns a sparkling stat line on the season with a .926 SV% and a 2.28 GAA to go along with his 7-1-2 record. He draws an excellent matchup on Monday with Boston being -250 favourites to secure the victory over the Blue Jackets.

Swayman will start Friday afternoon, the front end of a back-to-back for the Bruins. Swayman has struggled his last three games (1-0-2), posting a .895 SV% and allowing 10 goals in the process. That said, the Bruins are -186 home favourites despite losing to the Detroit Red Wings 5-4 on November 4th with Linus Ullmark between the pipes.

Swayman allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Bruins' win over the Canadiens on Saturday. Swayman starting on Monday would be the first time that a Bruins' goalie has started in consecutive games this season, as they've stuck to a strict alternating schedule through the first 16 games. Swayman has been nothing short of spectacular this season, going 7-0-1 with a 1.73 GAA (1st in the NHL), and .941 SV% (1st) in eight games. On Monday he'll face a Lightning team that has had an up-and-down season so far, but rank eighth in the NHL in goals per/60 (3.47).

Swayman will be back between the pipes on Saturday after Linus Ullmark got the nod in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Sabres. Swayman has picked up right where he left off last season, owning a league best .944 SV% and 1.69 GAA to go along with his sparkling 6-0-1 record. The Canadiens will be hard-pressed to deliver Swayman his first regulation loss of the season on Saturday, with Swayman and the Bruins currently being favoured at -260 to pick up the victory.

Swayman has been other-worldly this season, leading all goalies that have made at least four appearances, with a 1.38 GAA and .954 SV%, as he prepares for his sixth start of the season on Monday. Swayman has yet to lose (5-0-0) and is a big reason why the Bruins are off to a 9-1-1 start. The Bruins, who are coming off their first regulation loss of the season, are +128 road underdogs against a Dallas Stars team that, similar to the Bruins, ranks in the bottom half of league offence (2.90 GF / GP) and top five in defence (2.50 GA / GP).

Swayman returns to the Bruins' crease after backing up last game and will look to keep his four-game win streak in tact vs. Toronto. The 24-year-old has been sensational yet again this season, with his 4-0-0 record, .957 SV% and 1.26 GAA. He draws Toronto at home Thursday, who is looking to snap a two-game losing streak and are 13th in the NHL in goals per game (3.22).

Swayman stopped all 23 shots that he faced in the Bruins' shutout win in Chicago on Tuesday. Swayman and Linus Ullmark have alternated starts to begin the season and tonight Swayman will face a Red Wings team that got off to a quick start but have dropped their last two games (1-0-1).

Swayman stopped 32 of 34 shots (.941) for his second straight victory as he beat the Los Angeles Kings in his previous start. The 24-year-old has split starts this season but has been fantastic when called upon as he is 2-0-0 with a .943 SV% and a 2.02 GAA. He will look to keep the Bruins' perfect record intact as they take on the Chicago Blackhawks, who have lost four of their last five games and are 25th in the NHL in goals per game (2.33).

Swagman stopped 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) for a win over Nashville in his only start of the season and will take on Los Angeles Saturday. The 24-year-old will be looking to build off an incredibly impressive 2022-23, where he was 24-6-4 with a 2.27 GAA and .944 SV%. He will face Los Angeles on the road Saturday, who has won their last two games and are tied for first in the NHL in goals for per game (4.75)

Swagman stopped 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) for a win over Nashville in his only start of the season and will take on Los Angeles Saturday. The 24-year-old will be looking to build off an incredibly impressive 2022-23, where he was 24-6-4 with a 2.27 GAA and .944 SV%.

Linus Ullmark started the Bruins' season opener but Swayman will go in the second game of the season on Saturday. Swayman was overshadowed by Ullmark's Vezina-winning season in 2023, but he was excellent. The 24-year-old netminder went 24-6-4 with a 2.27 GAA and .920 SV% in 37 games (33 starts). Tonight he faces a Nashville team that he posted a 28-save shutout against a season ago.

Swayman was 24-6-4 with a 2.27 GAA (4th in NHL) and .920 SV% (4th in NHL) with Boston in 2022-23 and has been awarded a one-year, $3,475,000 extension by an arbitrator. The 24-year-old goaltender was the Bruins' 2017 fourth-round pick (111th overall) and has an incredibly impressive career 54-23-7 record, 2.24 GAA and .920 SV%.

Amidst the news that Linus Ullmark is a game-time decision for Game 3 (undisclosed), Jeremy Swayman is expected to make his 2022-23 playoff debut between the crease Friday. The 24-year-old was arguably the best backup net minder in the entire NHL during the regular season, with his 24-6-4 record, 2.27 GAA and .920 SV%. He will hope to get the Bruins back in the win column vs. Florida, who finished the regular season first in the NHL in shots per game (36.8).
