Restricted free-agent goaltender Jeremy Swayman signed an eight-year, $66 million contract with the Boston Bruins on Sunday morning.
The deal comes on the heels of Swayman declaring that he wants to "be a Bruin for a long time." It also comes two days before Boston plays its season opener on the road against the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.
"Hey fans, 'Sway' here," Swayman said in a video posted by the Bruins to social media. "I'm so excited to be back. I cannot thank you for all of your support throughout this entire process but we got a lot of new beginnings to start and I cannot wait to get going."
Swayman, 25, posted a 25-10-8 record with a 2.53 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage last season while playing on a one-year, $3.475 million contract awarded by an independent arbitrator. He was the only RFA in the NHL who remained unsigned.
Swayman is now the Bruins' No. 1 goaltender following the June trade that sent Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators.

He was 6-6 in 12 playoff starts last season with a .933 save percentage and 2.15 GAA.
