The Boston Bruins are working towards securing a long-term contract extension for All-Star goaltender Jeremy Swayman, as confirmed by coach Jim Montgomery during the team’s “Fan Fest” event in Maine. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Swayman’s contract status, Montgomery expressed confidence in seeing Swayman in a Bruins uniform at the start of training camp.
Swayman formed a strong tandem with Linus Ullmark over the past two seasons, with Swayman taking over as the team’s No. 1 goaltender by the end of the 2023-24 season. Following Ullmark’s trade earlier in the offseason, Swayman is poised to be the Bruins’ everyday starter pending a contract agreement.
Both sides are optimistic about reaching a deal before the start of training camp in mid-September, with Bruins president Cam Neely and Swayman showing confidence in a pending agreement. Montgomery’s positive comments further indicate that all parties are committed to finalizing a deal soon.
The Bruins are eager to secure Swayman’s services for the upcoming season, especially after his strong performance during the previous season and playoff run. As negotiations continue, the team remains focused on ensuring Swayman remains a key part of their lineup moving forward.
