The Boston Bruins are breaking with the long-standing hockey tradition of relying on a single goalie during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In the 2022-23 season, they achieved an NHL record with 65 wins and 135 points while rotating goalies Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman. Despite their success, they were eliminated in the first round by the Florida Panthers. This season, they are once again employing a rotation, with Swayman starting Game 1 and Ullmark starting Game 2 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. While some hold to the traditional belief in having one goalie for the playoffs, the Bruins’ success with a rotation is challenging this notion.

The Bruins’ goalie rotation remains a topic of discussion despite the team’s loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 2 of their playoff series.

He cited potential scouting advantages as the reason for his secrecy. While Swayman had been the logical choice for Game 1 due to his 3-0-0 record against Toronto in the regular season, Ullmark’s Vezina Trophy status and strong stats made it a difficult decision.

Montgomery emphasized the need for improvement in their transition speed and forechecking intensity ahead of Game 3 in Toronto.
