Boston Bruins surge as Jeremy Swayman’s dominant goaltending rattles the Eastern Conference—can they keep this momentum all season long?

Ian McLaren breaks down Swayman’s spectacular 44-save performance against the New York Islanders, spotlighting his November turnaround and its implications for Boston’s playoff hopes. The podcast covers Alex Steeves’ breakout two-goal night, Fabian Lysell’s scoring exploits with the Providence Bruins, and the impact of injuries to Casey Mittelstadt and Victor Arvidsson. Key storylines include the Bruins’ current standings, the point-percentage race in the Atlantic Division, and how recent AHL call-ups could reshape the forward lines. Insights on Mason Lohrei’s improved defensive play, Morgan Geekie’s unexpected scoring streak, and Nikita Zadorov’s locker room presence add further fuel to the Bruins’ resurgence.

Will the Bruins’ goaltending and depth spark a run up the standings, starting with a matinee showdown against the rival New York Rangers?
