Overview

  • Swayman returned to full-team skates and captains practices in early September, saying he is “a completely different human being” after an offseason overhaul.
  • He missed last year’s camp during a public contract dispute before signing an eight-year, $66 million deal on Oct. 6, then posted a .892 save percentage and ranked minus-9.1 in goals saved above expected.
  • Boston traded Linus Ullmark to Ottawa last summer, cementing Swayman as the unquestioned No. 1 and increasing expectations that he stabilizes the crease.
  • He went 7-0 with a .921 save percentage for Team USA at the 2025 IIHF World Championships, calling the run a needed reset after a difficult NHL season.
  • Swayman stresses the value of a full camp, positioning himself to lead a retooled Bruins group that will rely heavily on his performance in 2025–26.
