Jeremy Swayman has been nothing short of spectacular with Boston this year.
The goaltender currently leads all other rookie netminders with 20 wins this season. As you can see below, that puts him three wins in front of the next runner-up in that category.
Rookie goaltenders with most NHL wins this season:
As
per the NHL media website, by earning his 20th win of the ongoing campaign, Swayman became just the seventh rookie netminder in Bruins history to hit that mark.
Only three other Bruins goalkeepers have reached the 20-win milestone in the NHL's expansion era (since 1967-68):
Tuukka Rask had 22 wins in his rookie campaign back in 2009-10, Andrew Raycroft had 29 wins in 2003-04 and Marco Baron picked up 22 W's in his first season in 1981-82.
Thanks to his hot play, you can bet that Swayman is aiming to best all three netminders to become the winningest Bruins rookie goaltender in franchise history.
