The Bruins will close out a disappointing 2024-25 season on Tuesday, with Swayman tending the twine against the New Jersey Devils. Swayman struggled in his most recent outing, allowing four goals on 16 shots (.800 SV%) in a 5-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The 26-year-old netminder has a 3.08 GAA and .894 SV% in 57 games this season (22-29-6). The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +121 home underdogs against a Devils team they defeated 7-2 last week.

With Boston out of the playoff picture this season, they have decided to give a youth a chance for their remaining few games and have recalled Frederic Brunet from Providence (AHL). The 21-year-old defenseman was Boston's 2022 5th round pick (132nd overall) and spent the entire season with Providence where he picked up five goals and 24 points in 68 games played.

Lettieri will be the odd-man out on Thursday in order to make room for Riley Duran's NHL debut. Lettieri has three goals and two assists in 24 games this season.

The Bruins will turn to Swayman between the pipes for the 57th time this season when they host the Blackhawks on Thursday. Swayman turned in a solid performance in his last start, stopping 19 of the 21 shots he faced in a 7-2 win in New Jersey on Tuesday. It was just the 22nd win of the season for the 26-year-old netminder, who has struggled on his way to an .895 SV% on the year. Luckily for Swayman, he's a good bet to stay in the win column on Thursday, as the Bruins enter action at -180 on the money line.

Zadorov did not practice on Wednesday due to personal reasons and his status for Thursday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks is up in the air. The 29-year-old Zadorov is averaging 20:35 time-on-ice, recording 19 points (4G / 15A) and a team-best +21 plus/minus rating in 78 games. No other player on the Bruins has better than a +3 plus/minus.
