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

After a hard-fought 2-0 win against the Ottawa Senators on Jan. 23, the Boston Bruins returned to practice on Jan. 24. Bruins star goalie Jeremy Swayman participated in practice after not dressing against the Senators due to an injury.

Boston Bruins captain Brad Marchand’s family was at TD Garden during Saturday night's game against the Colorado Avalanche.

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.

The Boston Bruins may get a boost to their lineup, as goaltender Jeremy Swayman is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday afternoon against the Colorado Avalanche.

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.

Swayman made 27 saves on 28 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

Swayman left the Bruins’ 5-1 loss to the Devils on Wednesday after the second period and didn’t dress for Thursday’s 2-0 win over Ottawa. Interim coach Joe Sacco said Swayma

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

The Bruins have fought the injury bug while battling to remain among the NHL’s playoff contenders with under three months remaining in the regular season.

The current playoff odds don't favor the Bruins. But even with Boston looking at an arduous road, they're embracing the challenge.

As far-fetched as it may seem at this point for the Bruins to trade Marchand, it’s not totally out of the realm of possibility. Bruins fans would no doubt hate it, but it could help the future of the organization, and also allow Marchand a chance at another Cup.
