"Swayman was tagged for four goals in the first 20 minutes of the game, with Buffalo outshooting Boston, 19-5, and holding a whopping 34-14 edge in shot attempts. All four of Buffalo's tallies came off turnovers, with Boston knocked for 10 total giveaways in the first period."
"Marco Sturm had little issue with his goaltender showing some 'fire.' 'Absolutely, at least one guy [had fire], right? It was not his fault today,' Sturm said of Swayman. 'I can tell you that. I felt bad for him.'"
"Swayman has been one of the few positives for the Bruins in a first-round series where they have largely taken on water in the defensive zone. Even with Buffalo yet to cash in on a power-play tally through four games, the Sabres have outscored Boston, 12-6, at 5-on-5 play."
In Game 4, Jeremy Swayman struggled as the Bruins' defense faltered, allowing four goals in the first period. Buffalo outshot Boston significantly, capitalizing on turnovers. Swayman was replaced after the third period as the Bruins lost 6-1. Despite the loss, coach Marco Sturm praised Swayman's competitive spirit, stating it was not his fault. Swayman has been a bright spot for the Bruins in a challenging series, holding a .900 save percentage against Buffalo, though his playoff performance has been strong overall with a .924 save percentage in his last 16 games.
