Linus Ullmark has been cleared to play, likely ending Swayman's control of the crease, but the Bruins will start Swayman for the fourth straight game on Thursday. Swayman was outstanding in his last outing, saving all 31 shots he faced in a 3-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils for his third shutout of the season. Swayman and the Bruins will be tested on Thursday despite being -146 home favourites against the Colorado Avalanche, who have scored four or more goals in seven of their last eight games (6-2-0).

Swayman will continue his reign as the starting goalie for the Bruins with Linus Ullmark out of the lineup, starting his third straight game on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. Swayman snapped a four-game losing skid on Saturday with a 20-save performance (.870 SV%) in a 4-3 victory over the St. Louis Blues.

With Linus Ullmark out of the lineup due to a lower-body injury, the Bruins net will belong to Swayman, starting tonight with a matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. Swayman entered Tuesday's game in relief of Linus Ullmark and was put into a difficult position, allowing the game-winning goal on the first shot he faced in overtime. Swayman is winless in his last three (0-1-2), posting an ugly .861 SV% in the process. The Bruins are -128 road favourites on Thursday against the Golden Knights, who were shutout 3-0 by the Colorado Avalanche last night.

Swayman will return to the crease on Monday in a matchup against the Colorado Avalanche. The 25-year-old Swayman has allowed five or more goals in two of his last four starts (2-2-0), posting a .879 SV%, well below the .933 SV% he was sporting leading up to that point this season. The Bruins have won five of their last six (5-1-0) but are +109 road underdogs in a battle against the Colorado Avalanche, who are coming off a disappointing 8-4 loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday but have points in seven of their last eight (6-1-1).

Swayman will tend the twine for the Bruins on Thursday as they search for their fifth straight victory. Over his last two games (2-0-0), Swayman has saved 52 of 56 shots faced (.929 SV%). The Bruins have outscored their opposition 18-7 over their last four games (4-0-0) and are -142 home favourites against a Pittsburgh Penguins club that is coming off a 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals but has won three of their last four games (3-1-0).

Swayman allowed five goals on 33 shots in his last games (.848 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on December 22nd and will look to rebound when he returns to the crease on Wednesday against the Buffalo Sabres. In recent outings against the Sabres, the Bruins have opted to start former Sabres' netminder Linus Ullmark but are using a different approach by turning to Swayman after losing 3-1 to the Sabres earlier this month. Swayman has lost three straight games (0-1-2) despite only allowing two goals in two of them, posting a .912 SV%.

Swayman, as are the Bruins, is winless in his last two outings, but he will return to the crease on the front end of a back-to-back on Friday. Despite sporting only a .500 record in his last four (2-0-2), Swayman has a stellar .958 SV%, only allowing five total goals, and has been a victim of porous goal support from his team. The Bruins have lost four of their last six (2-1-3) and matchup evenly at -105 against the Winnipeg Jets, who have points in four straight games (3-0-1).

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.
