LInus Ullmark's family gave Jeremy Swayman a warm welcome to Ottawa with a sign reading "Uncle Sway." Read more on Boston.com.

Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman received a special welcome from Ottawa Senators netminder Linus Ullmark’s son Harry at Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday.

One of Swayman’s most notable characteristics is his complete and utter confidence, the surety he has in himself and his place in hockey. It’s something that has been the subject of countless conversations, including those he’s had with defenseman Brandon Carlo, a sounding board on the team.

The Bruins held a 5-4 lead with under a minute remaining in regulation when Swayman gained control of the puck and clearly attempted to score a goal with the Ottawa net empty. Instead, the Senators’ Josh Norris gloved the clearing attempt, kept the puck in the offensive zone and eventually scored the game-tying goal at 19:48.

The Bruins suffered another disheartening loss on Saturday, one that saw team captain Brad Marchand get benched for overtime.

Tim Stutzle scored in the shootout to lift the Ottawa Senators to a 6-5 win over the Boston Bruins. Leevi Merilainen, who made 23 saves in regulation and overtime, turned away all three Bruins skaters in the tiebreaker.

Down 5-3 to the rival Boston Bruins with the goalie pulled, the Senators scored twice in the final four minutes to tie the game, then won it 6-5 in the shootout. The victory, for the time being, moves Ottawa into the first Wild Card position (WC1) in the Eastern Conference, now tied in points with Columbus and Boston.
