During the first period, Swayman encountered opposition forward Jordan Martinook, resulting in a skirmish involving both players and subsequently Charlie McAvoy.
The Bruins' goaltender revealed to Matt Porter of the Boston Globe the conversation that took place amid the conflict, and the outcome is amusing. Porter reported that Swayman cited a line from the film Step Brothers to characterize the event:
In the game, Swayman stopped 34 out of 37 shots, contributing to Boston's victory over a solid Carolina team, despite the absence of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, Hampus Lindholm, Taylor Hall, and Derek Forbort.
