It was a rough Thursday for Jeremy Swayman.
The Bruins goalie was pulled and replaced with Joonas Korpisalo halfway through the second period of Boston’s game against the Hurricanes after he gave up six goals on 22 shots. Of the six goals Swayman gave up, three were on Carolina’s power play.
Boston had just six shots through 30 minutes of play before coach Jim Montgomery made the switch in net.
