Jeremy Swayman’s standout performance in the first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs played a significant role in the Boston Bruins’ survival. Today on Daily Faceoff Live, Frank Seravalli and Tyler Yaremchuk praised Swayman’s exceptional play throughout the playoffs.
Tyler Yaremchuk noted the ongoing debate over the Bruins’ goaltending choice, yet Swayman’s consistency prevailed as he stopped 37 out of 38 shots.
Frank Seravalli acknowledged the initial idea of a goaltending rotation but emphasized Swayman’s dominance with a remarkable 9.55 save percentage in his seven starts. He argued that there’s no reason to deviate from Swayman, even for rest, suggesting that Ullmark may only see action if the Bruins secure a substantial lead or if Swayman needs a break.
Looking ahead, Seravalli discussed the Bruins’ challenging schedule, highlighting their turnaround from an emotional Game 7 victory to facing a formidable opponent in the Panthers. Despite trailing in Game 1, the Bruins staged an impressive comeback, propelled by goals from unexpected contributors like Mason Lohrei, Justin Brazeau, and Brandon Carlo.
