Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Gets hook in Game 4
Rotowire
Swayman allowed six goals on 29 shots before being replaced by Joonas Korpisalo early in the third period Sunday during the Bruins' 6-1 loss to the Sabres in Game 4 of their first-round series.
The Sabres scored four times in the first period alone as they out-shot the home side 19-5 in the first 20 minutes, with Swayman not getting much in the way of help from his sluggish defense. The 27-year-old netminder has been beaten 13 times on 130 shots (.900 save percentage) through the first four games of the series, and with Boston's season on the brink, it's not yet clear if coach Marco Sturm will stick with Swayman or hand the crease to Korpisalo in Game 5 on Tuesday in an attempt to spark his team.

Boston grabbed a 1-0 lead early in the second period, but Swayman couldn't make it stick as his offensive support dried up. The 27-year-old netminder has given up seven goals on 101 shots (.931 save percentage) through the first three games of the season but has just one win to show for it.

Rotowire
Swayman stopped 34 of 37 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres in Game 1. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Slated to start Tuesday
Rotowire
Swayman is expected to start at home against the Devils on Tuesday, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.
Swayman holds a 30-18-4 record with a 2.76 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 54 appearances in 2025-26, a notable rebound from a difficult 2024-25 campaign in which he managed just 22 wins in 58 outings. Boston's season finale should provide a last look at Swayman ahead of the postseason, and he profiles as a solid fantasy option for the stretch run given his strong win total and above-average peripherals. He's a reliable starter in all standard formats down the homestretch.
