Official News: Boston Bruins Extend Contract with Emerging Star
The Boston Bruins have made a significant move to secure their future by extending the contract of emerging star defenseman Jeremy Swayman. The team announced today that Swayman has agreed to a four-year extension worth $24 million, which will keep him in a Bruins uniform through the 2028-2029 season.
Swayman, 25, has quickly established himself as one of the NHL’s most promising young goaltenders since making his debut in 2021. His impressive performances last season, including a career-high save percentage and several key wins, have solidified his position as the Bruins’ number one goaltender and a cornerstone of their defensive strategy.
“Jeremy has proven himself to be a crucial part of our team’s future,” said Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney. “His skill, work ethic, and composure under pressure have been exceptional. This extension is a testament to our confidence in his abilities and our commitment to building a strong foundation for the coming years.”
Swayman, who was drafted by the Bruins in the fourth round of the 2017 NHL Draft, has shown remarkable growth and consistency. His ability to handle high-pressure situations and his strong performances in critical games have earned him accolades from both teammates and opponents.
In response to the new contract, Swayman expressed his enthusiasm. “I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue my career with the Bruins,” he said. “This organization has been fantastic to me, and I’m excited to keep working hard and contributing to the team’s success.”
The contract extension reflects the Bruins’ long-term strategy to build around their young talent while maintaining a competitive edge in the league. With Swayman secured for the foreseeable future, the Bruins are well-positioned to continue their pursuit of excellence in the coming seasons.
