With this, a significant off-season is ahead for the Original Six club. Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman was one of the many players who struggled significantly this campaign for the Black and Gold. After signing an eight-year, $66 million contract at the start of the season, he put together a 22-29-7 record, a 3.11 goals-against average, and a .892 save percentage in 58 games this campaign. Needless to say, he performed far below expectations in his first season as the Bruins' true No. 1 goaltender. While speaking to reporters, including 98.5 The Sports Hub's Ty Anderson [https://x.com/_TyAnderson/status/1912881420885721125], Swayman took responsibility for his play this season: "I take accountability," Swayman said. "I wanted to play better, I know I can play better... What I learned this year is gonna be really beneficial for a lot of years to come. This is one of those hard years I'm gonna lean on in hard years." When looking at Swayman's past campaigns, there is reason to believe that he can bounce back with a fresh start next season. Before this season, he had a .914 save percentage or better in each of his previous three campaigns. He was also an All-Star for the first time in his career just back in 2023-24. Overall, if the Bruins hope to have any chance of redeeming themselves next season, they will surely need Swayman to return to his previous form. It will be interesting to see if he can do just that in 2025-26 from here.
