Trailing 4-2 to start the third period of Game 5 against the New York Islanders, the Boston Bruins made a change in goal with Jeremy Swayman replacing Tuukka Rask between the pipes.

Rask allowed four goals on 16 shots over the first 40 minutes, including a trio of second-period markers. The Islanders were also able to score three power-play goals on the former Vezina Trophy winner.

It marks the NHL playoff debut for the 22-year-old Swayman, who appeared in 10 games as a rookie for the Bruins this season. He was 7-3 with a 1.50 goals-against average and .945 save percentage during the regular season.

Swayman didn't see much action during the third, as he allowed one goal on only three shots faced. Boston managed to close the gap but still fell 5-4, and Swayman was credited with the loss. The Islanders now have a 3-2 series lead and will look to finish the series on home ice Wednesday.
