Bruins release major update on Jeremy Swayman

The bad news is that the Boston Bruins have been without several key players at various points throughout the young 2022-23 NHL season. However, the good news is that it hasn't affected their record in any way. As of right now, the Bruins are comfortably 1st overall in the League with a sparkling 14-2-0 mark. 

And the even better news is that they're about to get a huge piece of their team back in action ahead of schedule. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman, who was injured two weeks ago against the Pittsburgh Penguins, has returned to practice earlier than anticipated.

“I had complete trust in the medical staff. It all started in Pittsburgh actually with their medical staff treating me as their own, really got me in the right direction,” Swayman said. “The University of Pittsburgh got me an MRI right away the next day then letting (manager of player rehabilitation) Scotty Waugh and the crew take over. I couldn’t be in better hands.

“I’ve never been carried off the ice before, I never want to again. But I was feeling it out right after I got off the ice and being able to put weight on it was definitely a positive. Again, I just let the Pittsburgh staff take over … and trust what they had to say. I’m really, really fortunate to be in the position that I am.”

“I’m gonna do everything I can to be game ready, but I trust the medical staff here,” Swayman told reporters. “Scotty Waugh, everything he says I’m doing to the best of my ability, and I’m gonna do everything I can to get back as soon as possible.”
