Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery has now confirmed the Boston Bruins starting goaltender for their game against the Nashville Predators.

Just moments before puck drop, Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery confirmed that Jeremy Swayman will be the starting goaltender for tonight's game against the Nashville Predators.

This news comes after Swayman was seen taking the starting reps during the Bruins' morning skate earlier today.

Swayman has been strong between the pipes so far this season, and Montgomery seems confident in giving him another start. With the team looking to bounce back and gain some momentum after losing to Utah, Swayman will be relied on to keep the Bruins steady in goal as they face off against a struggling Predators team.

The Bruins made some roster changes for the Bruins heading into this game.

The Bruins' lineup for tonight's game features a new top line of Brad Marchand, Elias Lindholm, and David Pastrnak, while players like Charlie Coyle, Morgan Geekie, and Johnny Beecher will look to contribute on the lower lines. Jonas Korpisalo will serve as the backup goaltender tonight.

With the starting lineup set, all eyes will be on Swayman to see if he can help the Bruins pick up a crucial win on the road.
