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

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.

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.

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

Head coach Joe Sacco said before Thursday's game against the Senators that Swayman is dealing with a minor upper-body injury, Joe McDonald of The Hockey News reports. Sacco hinted after Wednesday's game against the Devils that Swayman was dealing with an injury following his early exit from the matchup,

Dealing with undisclosed issue

Swayman stopped 25 out of 29 Devils shots he faced on the night. The Bruins were outmatched entirely by the Devils at that point of the contest, but Swayman did his best to keep the Original Six club in it. He made several big stops, but the Bruins could not stop the Devils' offense.

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.

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