Jeremy Swayman had a score to settle on Thursday morning.
With the Bruins holding their morning skate at TD Garden, Swayman had a chance to seek out the Canucks within Boston’s home barn — with Vancouver slated to skate after the Bruins.
For Swayman, he only had one simple request for fellow netminder Thatcher Demko.
“I asked him if he wanted a hug,” Swayman said on Thursday morning. “He was like ‘Absolutely not.’”
Anyone who has watched Swayman over the past four years knows that he’s quick to seek out an embrace — especially with another goalie.
