As much as it does not sound like a good idea, the best way for the Boston Bruins to make the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs is to ride on Jeremy Swayman.
After the team's big win against the Detroit Red Wings on March 21, Marco Sturm spoke on Swayman's play, “That was the best I’ve seen (Swayman) play since I’ve been around...He was unbelievable -- he won the game for us.” In a game where the Red Wings were expected to score five goals, Swayman only allowed two goals on 14 high-danger chances. It was probably also one of the best road games the Bruins played all year.
