Swayman on verge on becoming third B's rookie in NHL history to do this

The goaltender has been white-hot for Boston this season and his solid showing has allowed him to contend for some important franchise milestones.

Swayman's first full campaign in the NHL has him among some of this season's best goaltenders, but also among the greatest rookie goaltenders in Bruins history.

Dating all the way back to the NHL's expansion era in 1967-68, only two Boston keepers have led rookie goaltenders in wins at the end of a season. Andrew Raycroft did it back in 2003-04, almost a decade after Blaine Lacher did it 1994-95.

In 29 starts this season, Swayman has 17 wins. That has him on top of all rookies in the NHL, with a strong chance at leading them once the regular season ends.

Here are the current rookie leaders in wins this season:

Jeremy Swayman - 17 W in 29 GP
Alex Nedeljkovic - 16 W in 44 GP
Spencer Knight - 12 W in 23 GP
Kaapo Kahkonen - 12W in 25GP
Karel Vejmelka - 10 W in 35 GP

Here's to hoping Swayman wins many more in the Bruins final 20 games so that he gets to celebrate all his achievements!
