The Boston Bruins are poised to continue their reign over the NHL's goaltending landscape as they solidify their exceptional goalie tandem with the re-signing of RFA Jeremy Swayman.

With Swayman and Linus Ullmark returning to the crease, the Bruins have a compelling case for boasting the league's best goalie tandem once again in the upcoming 2023-24 season.


Looking at Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark's pursuit as Boston Bruins' greatest goalie tandem

Last season, Swayman and Ullmark formed an extraordinary partnership that propelled the Bruins to goaltending excellence.

Their combined efforts yielded a remarkable league-best goals-against average (GAA) of 2.03 and a stellar save percentage of .931. This exceptional performance between the pipes was a driving force behind the Bruins' historic win/loss record, cementing their status as a dominant force in the NHL.

Ullmark's outstanding 40-6-1 record and his subsequent Vezina Trophy win showcased his ability to consistently deliver game-changing saves and provide a strong foundation for the Bruins' success.

Ullmark's steady presence and exceptional reflexes make him a formidable opponent for any offense, and his ability to perform under pressure is a testament to his Vezina-worthy prowess.

Meanwhile, Swayman's 24-6-4 record highlighted his remarkable poise and resilience as a young goaltender. Swayman's agility and quick glove hand make him a challenging netminder to beat, and his ability to maintain composure in high-stakes situations underscores his potential as a future star in the NHL.

Swayman's one-year deal reflects the Boston Bruins' commitment to nurturing his development while also capitalizing on his undeniable talent.

The re-signing of Jeremy Swayman adds a crucial layer of depth and stability to the Bruins' goaltending arsenal. With Ullmark and Swayman in the fold, the Boston Bruins are poised to deploy a potent tandem that can not only shut down opposing offenses but also steal games with their exceptional athleticism and acumen.

The dynamic between the veteran prowess of Ullmark and the youthful energy of Swayman creates a harmonious blend that could be the cornerstone of the Bruins' success in the upcoming season.


As the 2023-24 season approaches, Boston Bruins fans have every reason to be excited about the team's goaltending prospects.

The combination of Linus Ullmark's established brilliance and Jeremy Swayman's burgeoning potential sets the stage for another year of goaltending dominance. With the two exceptional netminders guarding the crease, the Bruins are well-positioned to maintain their reputation as a force to be reckoned with and potentially boast the best goalie tandem in the league once again.
