Jeremy Swayman will not play in Thursday's game against the Ottawa Senators due to an upper-body injury suffered the day before.

Jeremy Swayman returned to Boston practice on Friday and Michael DiPietro was back in Providence which likely signals a return toward goalie normalcy within the Bruins organization.

On Jan. 23, Boston recalled goalie Michael DiPietro from their AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins. This indicated that Swayman would be forced to miss time, and Sacco gave a new injury update about No. 1 before their contest against the Ottawa Senators.

During the Boston Bruins ' Jan. 22 contest against the New Jersey Devils, Jeremy Swayman was pulled for the start of the third period. This was after the 26-year-old goaltender stopped 25 out of 29 shots.

The Boston Bruins have been fighting the injury bug in recent games, while battling to remain among the playoff contenders with less than three months remaining in the regular season.

One of Swayman’s most notable characteristics is his complete and utter confidence, the surety he has in himself and his place in hockey. It’s something that has been the subject of countless conversations, including those he’s had with defenseman Brandon Carlo, a sounding board on the team.

Jeremy Swayman, whom B’s coach Joe Sacco pulled after two periods on Wednesday in New Jersey partly because he was “dealing with something minor,” was not available for Thursday’s pivotal game against the Ottawa Senators and Michael DiPietro was recalled from Providence.

The Bruins hope to keep their own point streak going while keeping the Devils on the skids on Wednesday. Jeremy Swayman gets the start.

In a season where little has seemingly gone right for the Bruins, Jeremy Swayman is showing signs of turning a corner.

Coach Joe Sacco is "cautiously optimistic" the goalie, who sustained the injury against New Jersey Wednesday night, will be available to play against Colorado on Saturday

David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha each logged a goal and two assists and Jeremy Swayman tied his career-high mark with 43 saves as the Boston Bruins beat the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2 on Tuesday night.

If the Bruins are going to hang on to a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, Jeremy Swayman will be the reason why.
