The stat line from Jeremy Swayman’s five outings against the Toronto Maple Leafs speaks for itself.
The fourth-year Bruins netminder picked up where he left off from his Game 1 effort Saturday. Amid a penalty trouble — on a night of subpar officiating — brief defensive lapses and early trouble with 5v5 production, Swayman once again stood tall against a potent Leafs offense.
Eventually, the Bruins found their 200-foot stride after Mitch Marner connected with Matthew Knies for the game’s first tally. By the third, Brad Marchand had entered takeover mode, and Swayman made his last round of clutch stops to cap off his 28-save outing and Boston’s 4-2 win in Game 3.
