I definitely understand that angle and it isn't an easy or straightforward decision one way or the other. If they do go with Swayman I think he has a very short leash because of the game 7 situation. There is no room to falter. Potentially one weak goal and it might be time for Ullmark. The short leash probably goes for Ullmark as well though. In any case both goalies need to be game ready on Sunday because either one might be called to go in and save the playoffs for Boston.
