Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman was forced to leave Tuesday night's comeback win over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the third period with a lower body injury.

Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron inadvertently crashed into Swayman, and the backup netminder appeared to suffer some sort of leg injury. He was unable to put much weight on his left leg as he was helped off the ice.
