Swayman Stumbles Late vs. Vancouver
Jeremy Swayman stopped 36 of 39 shots in Saturday’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks. Swayman held Vancouver scoreless until Brock Boeser’s tally 12:49 into the third period. That was followed by a Filip Hronek marker with 1:11 left in the frame to even the score at 2-2. The 25-year-old netminder would wind up with the loss when Boeser added a second goal on a power play in overtime. Swayman had won back-to-back starts coming into Saturday, though the Bruins’ defense hasn’t been doing him any favors — he’s now faced 127 shots over his last three outings. Swayman falls to 18-6-8 with a .920 save percentage and a 2.49 GAA on the season.
Beniers Records Helper on Saturday
Matty Beniers posted an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday’s 5-2 loss to the Wild. Beniers helped out on Vince Dunn’s goal in the opening minute of the game. The 21-year-old Beniers has five points over his last five outings, fueled by a three-point effort in Boston on Feb. 15. The center is up to 24 points, 92 shots on net, 34 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 52 appearances. He’s gotten by on strong two-way play, but the offense has been disappointing from a fantasy perspective.
