The Boston Bruins are facing a pivotal offseason, with the No. 7 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft—their highest first-rounder since 2011—and various roster needs. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman's resurgence is critical. His stunning performance for Team USA, including a 25-save shutout in the gold medal match against Switzerland, reinstates hope for Swayman to reclaim his previous All-Star status. After a disappointing season marked by injury struggles and a contract dispute affecting his play, Swayman’s form at the World Championships provides a positive outlook for the Bruins’ future in competitive play.
The U.S. claimed its first gold medal at the World Championship since 1933, and its first men's hockey gold at a major international tournament since the 1996 World Cup.
Swayman played a major role in Team USA's run to the gold, including a 25-save shutout in the championship game, ending the tournament with a .921 save percentage.
Swayman's sizable dip in performance was a huge deal, as he finished the campaign with a sub-.900 save percentage for the first time in his career.
The Bruins aim to return to contending status by addressing roster weaknesses and relying on Swayman to rediscover his All-Star caliber play.
