Heading into a crucial game seven, Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery is faced with a tough decision about who will start in net.

He recently discussed his thoughts on this pressing issue.
The Bruins returned to Boston early today, following a disheartening 7-5 defeat in game six.
With the series tied at 3-3, they must regroup and prepare for the deciding game on Sunday.

The Ultimate Goalie Choice

When questioned about potentially replacing Linus Ullmark with Jeremy Swayman for game seven, Montgomery revealed:
''The main reason to consider a switch would be that Linus didn't make enough saves. It's as simple as that.''

Montgomery expressed no regrets about starting Ullmark in the series' first six games but mentioned he wouldn't hesitate to opt for Swayman if needed.
''Jeremy Swayman is an incredibly confident individual. If he's the one in the net, I have complete faith in him.''

Swayman had an impressive second half of the season, boasting a 24-6-4 record, a 2.27 GAA, a .920 SV%, and four shutouts. The only problem is that the 24-year-old hasn't started a game since the regular season finale, when the Bruins won 5-4 against the Canadiens.
