Boston Bruins and Goaltender Jeremy Swayman Reach Arbitration Settlement

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman has been awarded a one-year contract worth $3.475 million through arbitration, according to sources close to the situation. The arbitrator reached the decision on Tuesday after Swayman and the Bruins failed to reach an agreement on a new contract before the start of the season.

The 24-year-old Swayman played a significant role in the Bruins' success last season, posting a 23-14-3 record with a 2.41 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage. He also recorded three shutouts.

The Bruins and Swayman's representatives, Gross Mark Toof and Jamie Bozzo, were unable to come to terms on a new deal before the arbitration hearing. The arbitrator's decision is binding, meaning that Swayman will play for the Bruins at the $3.475 million cap hit next season.
