Bruins’ Jeremy Swayman Lands Back Inside NHL’s Top 5 Goaltenders
Swayman’s rebound season earned him a spot behind only four goalies after he posted a career-high 31 wins and finished third in Vezina voting.
- On Monday, August 17, NHL Network unveiled its preseason top 10 goaltender rankings, sparking debate while placing Boston Bruins netminder Jeremy Swayman and Montreal Canadiens goalie Jakub Dobes among the league's elite.
- Swayman's inclusion follows a bounce-back 2025-26 season that restored his position after a difficult 2024-25 campaign; the 27-year-old earned a Vezina Trophy finalist nod, finishing third in voting.
- The Bruins goaltender set a career high with 31 victories last season, posting a 2.71 goals-against average and.908 save percentage. His 1,426 saves ranked fifth in the league, with 38 starts at.900 or better leading all NHL goalies.
- Following a deep postseason run to the Eastern Conference Final, Montreal signed Dobes to a three-year extension on July 2 worth approximately $16.07 million. The 25-year-old's ranking follows his 29-10-4 record.
- Entering the 2026-27 season, Boston and Montreal rely on these goaltenders as foundational pieces for playoff competitiveness. Securing top-tier netminding in the Eastern Conference remains the necessary starting point for both franchises' aspirations.
