Jeremy Swayman discusses big OT win over St. Louis
Linus Ullmark was injured during last Saturday's game against the Ottawa Senators, and it was announced that he wouldn't be travelling with the team on their current two-game road trip. Because of this, rookie Jeremy Swayman has had to take over the Bruins crease.
With a 3-2 overtime win last in St. Louis, Swayman is now 2-0-0 in his two starts since Ullmark's injury, while he's stopped 43 of 46 shots he's faced. Swayman spoke to the media after the win over the Blues as he commented on Ullmark's absence:
"It's obviously unfortunate that he's out but we wanna make sure that we're doing everything we can to help the team win every night. So, I'm looking forward to having him back, but business as usual."
With the Bruins clinching a playoff berth this past weekend and only seven games remaining, he was asked about the importance of games having a playoff intensity to them down the stretch:
"Absolutely, that's the way it's going to be the rest of the way, and we know that every game's an opportunity to prepare us for the playoffs here on out, and we love having teams that are going to give us that all-out effort every night... "
