The Boston Bruins face significant offseason challenges, particularly in improving their roster depth and addressing performance deficiencies. Key among their concerns is goaltender Jeremy Swayman, who underperformed last season, jeopardizing the team's playoff aspirations. His poor statistics—ranking 62nd among NHL goalies in goals saved above expected—highlight the need for improvement. Swayman acknowledges his disappointing season and is eager to improve, looking forward to a fresh start in training camp. The Bruins aim to enhance their offensive capabilities and defensive stability as they gear up for the next season with Swayman's performance being crucial for their success.
"I take accountability. I wanted to play better," Swayman said in his final media address at Warrior Ice Arena last month. "I know that I can play better, and that's something that I can't wait to work on."
As miserable as Boston's roster was this past winter, the case could be made that a flawed Bruins team would have been playing meaningful hockey in March and April had Swayman been just a league-average netminder in 2024-25.
