Anchorage's Swayman establishes himself as dominant force as Bruins advance in Stanley Cup playoffs

There is no award for the MVP of a first-round NHL playoff series, but if there was one, Anchorage's Jeremy Swayman would surely have won it. From local Boston media to “Hockey Night in Canada” pundits to his own coach, that was the accolade repeatedly tossed toward the 25-year-old on Saturday night. Swayman put in a phenomenal performance in backstopping the Boston Bruins over the Toronto Maple Leafs in a long and dramatic series that ended when David Pastrnak scored early in overtime of Game 7, for a win by the narrowest of margins. All season long, Boston coach Jim Montgomery had platooned Swayman, who won the first game against Toronto, and Linus Ullmark, who lost the second.
