USA Hockey adds Bruins netminder to World Championship roster

On Sunday, it was revealed that goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic had an injury and would leave the US' World Championship team. This left the US with only two goaltenders, Strauss Mann and Jon Gillies.

With an open spot on their roster, USA Hockey announced that Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman will join the team in Finland.

The Anchorage (Alaska) native had a strong rookie season in the NHL for the Bruins. In 41 games, he had a record of 23-14-3, a 2.41 GAA, a .914 save percentage and three shutouts.

Swayman, 23, has only represented the United States once, at the 2018 World Juniors, appearing in three minutes during the bronze medal game, which they won by a score of 9-3.

The United States will be back in action on Thursday at 9:20 a.m. ET against Great Britain. It's unclear if Swayman will be in between the pipes for that contest.
