Boston was leading 2-1 after the first period, and 3-1 after the second. They ended up finishing the game, winning 3-2.
Swayman was huge for the Bruins, stopping 29 out of 31 shots he faced abd Avalanche star Nathan MacKinnon had some praise for him after the game.
Nathan MacKinnon praises Swayman
MacKinnon stated that Swayman was the reason the Bruins ended up upsetting the Avalanche.
«I thought we played well,» MacKinnon said, as seen on NESN's postgame coverage. «It's just unfortunate we couldn't put it away early. We had a lot of looks, a lot of chances, and we were dominating, but let them back in it.
«They held it down the second half of the game, but the first half of the game we had chances to get a good lead. I thought we really outplayed them, honestly. Swayman had a night.»

Swayman was super happy about the upset win over the Avalanche, and believes that it will be a momentum swing for the Bruins moving forward.
«It's the best thing ever,» Swayman said. «It's a momentum shifter in a game when guys are sacrificing their bodies for the greater good of the team. That's important for us and gives us a ton of momentum moving forward, and I'm really thankful to have these guys in front of me.»
Now the Bruins are looking to take on the Ottawa Senators on Monday.
