Before Swayman turned pro, he played three years in net for the Black Bears. He finished his college career as Maine’s all-time leader with 3,130 saves. Swayman posted a 2.51 goals-against average and .927 save percentage in 100 games with a 47-40-12 overall record. In his final season with the Black Bears, Swayman was named the Mike Richter Award recipient as the top NCAA Division I men’s ice hockey goalie of the year.
Swayman joined the Bruins when he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Boston on Mar. 18, 2020.
In his first season donning the Spoked-B, Swayman posted a .945 save percentage and 1.50 goals-against average in 10 games. Swayman and former Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark formed one of the best tandems in the NHL when they joined together for the 2021-22 season.
