Jeremy Swayman will start Thursday vs. Seattle.

Swayman was perfect, stopping 28 of 28 shots for his second shutout of the season as he beat Nashville in his last start. The 24-year-old Bruins' backup has been slowly making their starting position a 50/50 split due to his impressive 13-4-4 record, 2.21 GAA and .918 SV%. He will face Seattle, who is coming off a 4-0 loss to San Jose but is fifth in the NHL in goals per game (3.46).
