Jeremy Swayman kept things simple when asked his mindset during his recent heater between the pipes.
“Just one shot at a time, brother,” Swayman said of his approach on Saturday night.
Swayman’s zen-like mindset was evident during Boston’s shootout round against the Red Wings at TD Garden. With a critical two points up for grabs, Swayman had his work cut out for him matched up against a trio of uber-skilled Detroit forwards in Lucas Raymond, Patrick Kane, and Alex DeBrincat.
Raymond’s attempt was turned aside by a glove-side stop from Swayman. After Kane tried to get Swayman to bite with an array of dangles, his sharp wrister was snatched out of the air by Boston’s netminder.
