Bruins Coach Blasts Jeremy Swayman After Brutal Start

Swayman's struggles continue as the Bruins fall to the Red Wings

The Bruins' struggles continued on Saturday night as they fell to the Red Wings 5-2. Jeremy Swayman, who has been struggling all season, allowed all five goals on 31 shots.

Swayman has now allowed 19 goals in his last four starts. His save percentage has dropped to .857, and his goals-against average has risen to 3.52.

After the game, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy was critical of Swayman's performance.

"He's got to be better," Cassidy said. "He's got to make some saves for us. We're not going to win many games if he's giving up five goals a night."

Swayman is just 23 years old, and he is still developing. However, he needs to start showing some improvement soon if he wants to be the Bruins' long-term starting goalie.

The Bruins are now 2-4-2 in their last eight games. They are currently in sixth place in the Atlantic Division, and they are in danger of missing the playoffs.

The Bruins will need Swayman to play better if they want to turn things around. He is the only goalie on the roster with NHL experience, and he needs to be the backbone of the team.
