Sat Jan 25 04:10:00 IST 2025: ## Bruins Goalie Swayman Out Day-to-Day with Upper-Body Injury
**Boston, MA –** Boston Bruins starting goaltender Jeremy Swayman will be sidelined day-to-day with an upper-body injury, head coach Joe Sacco announced Thursday. Swayman left Wednesday’s game against the New Jersey Devils after two periods, allowing four goals on 28 shots.
The injury comes as a blow to the Bruins, who are currently battling for a playoff spot. Swayman, in his first season as the full-time starter, has a 15-16-4 record, a .896 save percentage, and a 3.00 goals-against average in 35 appearances this season. He recently signed an eight-year, $8.25 million annual average value contract extension with the team.
In response to Swayman’s injury, the Bruins have recalled goaltender Michael DiPietro from their AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins. DiPietro has impressed in the AHL this season with a 14-5-3 record, .930 save percentage, and 1.95 goals-against average in 22 games. He has limited NHL experience, with three appearances for the Vancouver Canucks between 2018 and 2022.
The Bruins, currently 23-20-6, are fighting for a wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference, trailing both the Ottawa Senators and Montreal Canadiens due to tie-breaker rules. The team faces the Senators on Thursday night, a crucial game in their playoff push. The extent of Swayman’s injury and his potential return date remain unclear.
