Swayman stops 31 shots in OT loss
Jeremy Swayman stopped 31 shots Tuesday in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs in Game 5 of the Bruins’ first-round series. Making his third straight start for Boston, Swayman played well but didn’t get a lot of help from his teammates at either end of the ice. The 25-year-old netminder has a stellar 1.49 GAA and .952 save percentage in his four playoff starts so far, but it’s not clear if coach Jim Montgomery will turn back to Linus Ullmark for Game 6 on Thursday.
Woll makes 27 stops to save Maple Leafs season
Joseph Woll made 27 saves Tuesday in a 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins in Game 5 of the Maple Leafs’ first-round series. Facing elimination, the Leafs turned to Woll in net with Ilya Samsonov having looked a bit shaky in the first four games of the series, and the 25-year-old netminder was brilliant after getting beaten by Trent Frederic midway through the first period. It was Woll’s first win since April 9, but he’ll likely remain between the pipes when the series shifts back to Toronto for Game 6 on Thursday.
