First NHL start on tap Swayman will make his NHL starting debut Tuesday night against the Flyers, Joe Haggerty of BostonHockeyNow.com reports. Impact With both Tuukka Rask (upper body) and Jaroslav Halak (COVID-19 protocol) unavailable Tuesday, Swayman will get the start, backed up by Daniel Vladar, who drew the nod in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Philadelphia. How long Swayman is in the rotation hinges on the status of his veteran counterparts, but in his first pro season, the 22-year-old has been outstanding for AHL Providence. To date, the 2017 fourth-rounder has posted an 8-1 record, with a 1.89 GAA and .933 save percentage.
