Boston Bruins News

Swayman will start in Montreal on Thursday.

The Bruins are 1-8-1 in their last 10 games and have fallen to last place in the Eastern Conference. They will turn to Swayman between the pipes on Thursday against a Montreal Canadiens team hungry to remain in a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The 26-year-old Swayman has an abysmal 4.95 GAA and .840 SV% in his last six games (0-6-0). The Bruins enter Thursday's contest as +177 road underdogs against a Canadiens team coming off an impressive come-from-behind overtime win over the Florida Panthers.

Swayman will start vs. Washington on Tuesday.

The Bruins are amid an eight-game losing skid and will hope for a better result on Tuesday, with Swayman tending the twine against the Washington Capitals. The 26-year-old Swayman was serviceable in his most recent outing but did not receive ample goal support, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 2-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. He has a 3.10 GAA and .893 SV% in 52 games this season (20-26-6). The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +182 home underdogs against a Capitals team coming off a disappointing 8-5 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

The 27-year-old had seven goals, 23 points, 98 SOG and 46 PIMs in 50 games to start the season. The Bruins have eight games remaining this season and it's unclear when McAvoy could return to the lineup.
