BRIGHTON, Mass. — Jeremy Swayman will start in net on Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens. It will be the first of six games in a 10-day stretch for the Boston Bruins.

According to coach Jim Montgomery’s plan, Swayman and Linus Ullmark will rotate each of the six games, just as they have to this point through the Bruins’ 12-1-2 start. Neither goalie has given Montgomery any reason to change his template.

As for games in April, May and June, it’s possible that Swayman and Ullmark could keep sharing the net.

“For sure,” Montgomery answered when asked if he’d be more open to considering a playoff rotation. “Yup. Absolutely.”

Plenty of things could go sideways between now and then. An injury could happen, like the knee that Swayman tweaked last November. Swayman or Ullmark could regress to the point where one is clearly better than the other. The Bruins could fall flat on their faces and miss the playoffs.

But that Montgomery is even entertaining the notion of a playoff rotation shows how his thinking has evolved.
