Swayman blocked 20 of 24 shots and picked up the win in Thursday's 6-4 victory over Montreal.
Swayman didn't have to face too many shots, but Montreal had its fair share of dangerous chances. Two of the four goals could be chalked up to breakdowns by the defense, while the other two were redirects. Swayman, who didn't play during the preseason while involved in a contract dispute, showed some rust in first game action. He and Joonas Korpisalo may have an even split early on until Swayman acclimates to the flow of the game. Boston's next game is Saturday afternoon at home against the Kings.
