This Bruins goalie is expected to be between the pipes against the Lightning.
The Boston Bruins return to the ice tonight in a big matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning. After losing each of their last five games, the Bruins will aim to get back on track against the Bolts. The Lightning will pass them in the Atlantic Division standings if they lose in regulation, so this is an important game for the Bruins.
For this contest against the Lightning, the Bruins will be going with goaltender Jeremy Swayman as their starter.
Swayman, 26, played in the Bruins' last contest against the Oilers. While the Bruins lost, he was not the problem, as he stopped 35 out of 38 shots he faced in the shutout loss.
Jeremy Swayman & Joonas KorpisaloSwayman has lost each of his four appearances but had a .921 save percentage or better in three of them. It will be fascinating to see if he can lead the Bruins to a much-needed win against the Lightning from here.
In 30 games this season, Swayman has a 13-14-3 record, a .893 save percentage, and a 2.92 goals-against average.
