Boston Bruins’ goaltender Jeremy Swayman has officially signed with the team, but the question remains as to when he will make his season debut. It has been confirmed that he will not be ready to play in the team’s opener against Florida on Tuesday, with Joonas Korpisalo taking the starting position for Game 1. Swayman will undergo extra practice sessions with goalie coach Bob Essensa in preparation for his return to the net.
Despite limited practice time due to the Bruins’ upcoming schedule, Swayman is eager to get back into game action and is confident in his ability to quickly regain his rhythm on the ice. While the team could potentially carry three goalies, it is more likely that Swayman will serve as the backup goaltender initially, with Korpisalo starting until he is ready to take on a starting role.
Swayman has been staying sharp by working out with the Boston University hockey team and is excited for the opportunity to challenge himself on the ice. The Bruins may need to put Brandon Bussi and Jiri Patera on waivers before Monday’s roster deadline in order to accommodate Swayman’s return. Fans will have to wait and see when the promising young goalie will make his highly anticipated return to the Bruins’ lineup.
