Jeremy Swayman posts 24-save shutout in Bruins win over Rangers

Swayman's perfect night gives Boston fantasy managers three more probable starts this week, but his underlying numbers remain only mid-range.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · September 30, 2026 · Updated October 6, 2026

Jeremy Swayman stopped all 24 shots he faced on Tuesday, September 29 as the Bruins blanked the Rangers 3-0. He played the full 60:00 and earned the win.

The shutout is a nice result, but Swayman's recent averages (2.80 GAA, .905 save percentage across 143 games) and his quality-of-save grades (89th percentile among goalies) suggest this is a normal ceiling performance for a mid-tier starter. With a 90% start share and three games left this week (Friday, Saturday, Monday), he is a volume play in deeper formats.

Swayman's 24-save shutout against the Rangers on Tuesday, September 29 was a clean night's work, but his broader profile is that of a mid-rotation starter. His recent averages (2.80 GAA, .905 save percentage) and process grades (89th percentile for goals saved above expected and high-danger saves) place him in the middle of the goalie pool. A 90% start share means he sees most of Boston's crease time.

The Bruins have three games left this week (Friday, Saturday, Monday), so Swayman should collect two or three starts. That volume makes him a streaming option in standard leagues and a stable hold in deeper formats. His quality-of-save grades suggest he is performing at his level, so expect more of the same 2.80 GAA and .905 save percentage rather than a sustained run of zeroes.

What to do

• Hold Swayman in all formats for his start volume (90% share, three games left this week).

• Stream Swayman in standard leagues if you need goalie counting stats across three probable starts.

• Temper expectations: his recent averages (2.80 GAA, .905 save percentage) and 89th-percentile save quality suggest this shutout is a ceiling game, not a new baseline.
