Team USA Wins Worlds Gold Behind Swayman Shutout

Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman led Team USA to its first IIHF Men's World Championship gold medal since 1933, remaining undefeated and posting a shutout in a 1-0 overtime win against Switzerland in the final. Swayman finished the tournament with a 7-0 record, a .920 save percentage, and a 1.69 goals-against average, rebounding strongly after a difficult NHL season. His consistent play was crucial in Team USA’s 6-2 semifinal win over Sweden and throughout the tournament, after initially sharing goalie duties. Swayman credited the supportive Team USA environment for revitalizing his confidence and performance. The championship also saw contributions from other Bruins players, including Andrew Peeke and Elias Lindholm, who played for their respective national teams. This international success is viewed as a positive sign for Swayman’s career and the Bruins' future.
