Jeremy Swayman voices his self disappointment after Boston Bruins' 7-2 blowout loss to bottom-placed Atlantic Division rivals

The Boston Bruins saw their impressive two-game winning streak snapped with a disappointing 7-2 defeat to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night.

The Bruins delivered a lackluster performance at KeyBank Center, failing to showcase any pride in their effort. Whenever they created opportunities, the Bruins quickly squandered them, allowing a goal in less than a minute scoring on two occasions.

The team struggled with both defensive lapses and an ineffective offense, highlighting numerous issues in their play. However, the most troubling aspect was their inability to respond effectively during the game.

Jeremy Swayman had a tough outing between the pipes, receiving little support from his teammates. He ended the night with 26 saves and an SV% of .812. Following the loss to the Sabres, who sit at the bottom of the Atlantic Division, the Boston Bruins goalie expressed his disappointment in his performance (4:31).

"I think, not giving up my team a chance to win. I take pride in that every night, and could have made a couple more saves that, you know, kept the game closer, and that's something I need to work on, and, and I will, and everyone in this room knows that. said Swayman post-game.

"I know that everyone in this room is going to do the same for their game and, and that's what we have, that not a lot of teams don't. And we could take pride in that," he added.

The Boston Bruins (25-21-6) are on level points with third-placed Ottawa Senators (26-20-4) in the Atlantic Division. The Bruins play the Winnipeg Jets at home on Thursday.
