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

The Avalanche will have newly acquired Martin Necas and Jack Drury in the lineup. Colorado is averaging 3.29 goals per game, eighth in the NHL in 2024-25.

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.

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

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

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 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 goalie, who returned to practice on Friday, will not only dress on Saturday, but he’ll start for Boston against Colorado in the 1 p.m. game at TD Garden.

David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists, and the Boston Bruins beat Colorado 3-1 a day after the Avalanche traded star winger Mikko Rantanen.

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.
