Swayman will start in Winnipeg on Tuesday.

The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest as +117 road underdogs against a Jets club coming off a disappointing 4-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Swayman will start in Chicago on Wednesday.

Swayman will make his 19th start of the season when the Bruins travel to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks on Wednesday. Swayman picked up just his seventh win of the season his last time out, stopping 25 of the 28 shots he faced in a 6-3 victory over the Canadiens. Swayman has been in a bit of a groove of late after struggling mightily to begin the season, posting a .929 SV% across his last four starts. He's got a good chance of staying in the win column on Wednesday as the Bruins enter action at -150 on the money line.

That said, he has saved 32 of 34 shots faced (.941 SV%) over his last two games (1-1-0). The Bruins enter Friday's contest as -166 home favorites against a Pittsburgh Penguins club coming off a 5-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, the first time they have scored over four goals since October 16th.

The Bruins will turn to Swayman for his second consecutive start on Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 26-year-old Swayman has failed to live up to expectations this season, posting an ugly 3.30 GAA and .887 SV% in 15 games (6-7-2), but was solid in his last outing, saving 19 of 20 shots (.950 SV%) in a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings, his first game since the firing of head coach Jim Montgomery. The Bruins enter the action on Tuesday as -115 home favorites against a Vancouver Canucks club that welcomes Brock Boeser (upper body) back into the lineup.
