"Boston Bruins Swayman allowed a center-ice goal to Denmark, but had to laugh it off in the aftermath of the United States' win. The United States took care of business against Denmark in Olympic action Saturday, but its win didn't have much to do with Jeremy Swayman's performance in net. Swayman was mediocre at best in net Saturday, giving up a pair of regrettable goals including a shot from center ice that will likely be the lowlight of his entire year."
"He admitted that he couldn't see the puck when it came off Nick Jensen's stick. "It was a flash screen, and it was just the perfect height between the stands and board level, and I truly lost it," Swayman told reporters. "Definitely one I want back, but at the same time - especially at this level - you have to stay even keeled.""
Jeremy Swayman allowed a center-ice goal and two regrettable scores while starting for the United States in an Olympic exhibition against Denmark. The U.S. won despite Swayman's uneven play, and Swayman made 18 saves in the victory. He said he lost sight of the puck when it came off Nick Jensen's stick and described it as a flash screen at the perfect height between the stands and board level. Broadcasters speculated that darker rink boards affected visibility; Swayman replied with a quip that he is colorblind. The team also carries Connor Hellebuyck and Jake Oettinger. One more exhibition precedes the elimination tournament.
