Jeremy Swayman on Track to Pass Tuukka Rask for Bruins Record
After a slow start to the season Jeremy Swayman has bounced back and is once again on his way of becoming one of the best young goalies in Bruins history.
Solid performance springs Swayman up franchise leaderboards
After an incredible 36-save shutout against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night, Swayman climbed up a couple of franchise leaderboards for goalies under the age of 25. He's now right behind - and very close to passing - his one time mentor, Tuukka Rask.
As per NHL Public Relations:
* Jeremy Swayman recorded the 47th win of his career and tied Tuukka Rask for the second most wins by a Bruins goaltender before the age of 25. The only goalie with more is Frank Brimsek (64).
* Jeremy Swayman (35 saves) recorded his eighth career shutout. The only Bruins goaltenders with more blank sheets before turning 25 years of age are Frank Brimsek (16) and Tuukka Rask (11).
* Jeremy Swayman (35 saves) recorded his eighth career shutout. The only Bruins goaltenders with more blank sheets before turning 25 years of age are Frank Brimsek (16) and Tuukka Rask (11).
Swayman has bolstered his season statistics to a 2.28 GAA and a .917 SV%, along with a 17-6-4 record. The Alaska native doesn't turn 25 until November, so he still has the rest of this season and the beginning of next, to keep climbing those Bruins all time leaderboards.
How high will he climb?
