Goalie Dilemma for Bruins in Game 2: Swayman's Impressive Play Sparks Selection Uncertainty
Sunday, April 21st, 2024
The Bruins are facing a challenging decision on who will be their goaltender for the second game against the Maple Leafs on Monday.
Even though Jeremy Swayman showcased an outstanding performance with 35 saves in the first game, the Bruins have consistently alternated between Swayman and Linus Ullmark throughout the season.
Coach Jim Montgomery suggested he might stick to rotating goalies in the postseason but didn't hold back in commending Swayman's exceptional game, particularly his plays against Toronto's star players like Auston Matthews.
Montgomery highlighted Swayman's agility and knack for making crucial saves at pivotal moments of the game.
The decision to go with Swayman, who is currently in great form, or Ullmark, who has a reliable performance record from the regular season, is critical for the Bruins, considering they were knocked out of the playoffs last year after choosing Ullmark over Swayman in a decisive Game 7.
Swayman shared his delight over his performance in Game 1, describing it as a fulfillment of a dream and expressing how much he appreciated the fan support.
