Jeremy Swayman gets the crease again as Marco Sturm refuses to scramble the Bruins after Boston let Game 1 slip away in Buffalo.

That's the headline out of the Bruins' Game 2 skate. Down 0-1 in the series, Boston is running back the same forward lines, the same blue-line pairs, and the same goalie order.

It's a pointed call from Sturm.

After a 4-3 loss in Game 1, the Bruins could've gone hunting for a spark with a shakeup in the top six or a change on the back end.

They didn't.

That tells you Boston's staff sees the opener as a breakdown in finish and late-game control, not a roster problem. The Bruins were up 2-0 in the third period and still walked out trailing in the series.

Swayman is the biggest part of that vote of confidence. He stopped 34 shots in Game 1, and Boston clearly believes the response starts in the crease, not on the bench.

The top unit stays intact with Morgan Geekie, Elias Lindholm, and David Pastrnak. That line already gave Boston offense in the opener, and it still looks like the club's best shot to punch back early.

The second group of Casey Mittelstadt, Pavel Zacha, and Viktor Arvidsson also stays together. That matters because Boston needs cleaner puck support through the neutral zone, not another round of line juggling.

On the blue line, Charlie McAvoy remains paired with Jonathan Aspirot, while Hampus Lindholm stays beside Mason Lohrei. Sturm is asking his regular structure to hold up under playoff pressure.

You could see the message in the skate: short touches, no dramatic experiments, and no sign of a coach trying to win the morning instead of the night.

That eye-test moment matched the report from Buffalo, where the Bruins' units rolled out in the exact same order as Game 1.

Boston finished the regular season with 100 points. This is still a playoff team with enough skill, enough edge, and enough experience to answer fast.

But if the same lineup gets the same result Tuesday, the pressure around Sturm's next decision gets a lot louder.
