"Jeremy Swayman kept things simple when asked his mindset during his recent heater between the pipes. "Just one shot at a time, brother," Swayman said of his approach on Saturday night. Swayman's zen-like mindset was evident during Boston's shootout round against the Red Wings at TD Garden. With a critical two points up for grabs, Swayman had his work cut out for him matched up against a trio of uber-skilled Detroit forwards in Lucas Raymond, Patrick Kane, and Alex DeBrincat."
"Raymond's attempt was turned aside by a glove-side stop from Swayman. After Kane tried to get Swayman to bite with an array of dangles, his sharp wrister was snatched out of the air by Boston's netminder. And on Detroit's final bid of the night, Swayman once again didn't budge against DeBrincat - shifting to his left and denying him with a pad stop to close out a much-needed victory for Boston."
""You guys feel it, the fans, everyone upstairs, feels it, and, most importantly, our players feel it," Bruins head coach Marco Sturm said of Swayman's recent play. "It's such a good feeling when you have that. All year long, since Day One when I met him, he's been rock solid, off the ice and on. The calmness he brings in every game, giving us a chance to win, it's a good feeling.""
Jeremy Swayman's simple, focused approach—"Just one shot at a time, brother"—translated into a string of key stops that secured a shootout win over the Red Wings. Swayman stopped Lucas Raymond with a glove save, Patrick Kane's sharp wrister in midair, and denied Alex DeBrincat with a pad save to close the game. The goaltender's resurgence has been vital while Boston copes without David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy. Coach Marco Sturm praised Swayman's calm, rock-solid presence and its positive effect on players and fans. Morgan Geekie scored twice and tied Nathan MacKinnon with 20 goals.
