Jeremy Swayman's second period performance vs. Golden Knights doesn't tell full story

The box score watchers will see that Jeremy Swayman allowed four goals on his first 16 shots against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night and worry that the goaltender's 2024-25 form was returning. However, if it weren't for Swayman in the second period, the Boston Bruins would've been in a much bigger hole than they were entering the third period. The two goals allowed to give the Golden Knights a 4-2 lead were just terrible bad luck in a 6-5 loss.

The 3-2 goal from Jack Eichel was a slight breakdown from the defense in front of Swayman, as Charlie McAvoy chased a hit behind the net and the forwards left the high slot open.
