Swayman wins in shootout vs. Caps
Jeremy Swayman stopped 18 of 20 shots in Saturday’s 3-2 shootout win over the Capitals. Swayman faced very few shots in the contest but had to be sharp in overtime as he kicked aside all four sent his way. The Bruins ended up victorious in the shootout, and Swayman concluded the night with a .900 save percentage. The 25-year-old netminder continues to alternate games with Linus Ullmark, so fantasy managers will need to adjust their rosters accordingly.
Lankinen solid but not good enough
Kevin Lankinen made 35 saves Saturday in a 7-4 loss to Colorado. He allowed six goals. The Preds came out hard and fast, and the Avs did not. The squad forced Avs starter Alexandar Georgiev out of the game just 57 seconds into the second, and Lankinen looked incredibly confident. However, the Avs then scored the final five goals of the game. Lankinen is usually solid but doesn’t get a lot of playing time behind Juuse Saros, who dominates the crease. That said, Lankinen may get another game or two before the end of the season to allow Nashville to rest Saros for Cup action.
