Jeremy Swayman goaltender explain why he want to leave Boston Bruins

rolling. At 3:17 of the second period on Thursday, Justin Brazeau had tied the game against the New York Rangers at 2-2 with a net-front goal.

Forty seconds later, Adam Fox snuffed out any kind of momentum the Boston Bruins had gained.

Fox is one of the NHL’s premier defensemen. He knows how to shoot the puck. Goalies have to be dialed in to deny Fox when he controls the puck in tight.

Jeremy Swayman is just a bit off his game.

Those two factors helped Fox score the deciding goal at 3:57 of the second in the Rangers’ 5-2 win. Fox ripped a riser short side on Swayman. But the Bruins goalie pulled ever so slightly off his strong-side post, perhaps in anticipation of Chris Kreider’s net drive. The shot — an unscreened wrister just outside the right faceoff dot — is one that a spot-on Swayman can stop.
