The franchise that picked the outstanding goalkeeper from Anchorage, Alaska, agreed an extension with him for eight years and $66 million, putting him in the top five most paid goalies in the National Hockey League.
“At a press conference, I couldn’t be more excited to be in this position,” he told the journalists. “In an hour, I have to catch a plane.” I could never have imagined that my world would actually be like this. Here in front of you is an Alaskan child who is incredibly thrilled to be a Bruin for another eight years.
He will start his sixth season as the team’s starting goalie following an outstanding postseason showing the previous year.
In 12 postseason appearances, the former South Anchorage Wolverine has a 2.15 goals against average and a.933 save percentage. Among goalies with at least ten starts, both are league-best. The Last Frontier’s masked man has become one of the NHL’s best rookie goalies after three complete seasons at the top level of competition.
Swayman’s record since his debut in April 2021 is 79-33-15, with a 2.34 GAA and a.919 Save Percentage. His league-leading 2023–24 stats of 2.53 GAA (8th) and.916 SV% (5th) were among the finest.
The defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, who eliminated Boston from the playoffs in six games during the second round, will host the Bruins in their opening game of the 2024–25 season on Tuesday.
