The Bruins will be without their star goalie when the team has their first training camp practice on Thursday.

General Manager Don Sweeney confirmed on Wednesday that Jeremy Swayman won’t attend training camp until a contract is signed.

“He has chosen to wait, and rightfully so, until a contract is settled. It’s our intention to continue to negotiate a contract,” he said. “I’m disappointed. When you set things as a priority, you do your best to try to accomplish that, and I haven’t been able to do that yet.”

Sweeney added “we’ll find a landing spot” with Swayman before the Dec. 1 deadline all unsigned restricted free agents have to reach a new deal for the upcoming season.

Coach Jim Montgomery said there’s no fear about the ongoing negotiations impacting in the room because the Bruins are focused on training camp and their first regular-season game against the Florida Panthers next month.

“We got a lot of day-to-day things that we gotta focus on right now,” he said.

The two sides were unable to come to terms on a long-term deal in the offseason. Swayman, a restricted free agent, and the Bruins opted not to go to arbitration over the summer. There’s been plenty of optimism from both the goalie and Boston’s management that a long-term deal will get done in due time.

Swayman emerged as Boston’s No. 1 goalie throughout the regular season, and particularly in the playoffs. He played all but one game for the Bruins during their run before they ultimately were eliminated in the second round by the Florida Panthers. He finished the regular season with a 25-10-8 record with a 2.53 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.

The Bruins had one of the NHL’s top goalie tandems with Swayman and Linus Ullmark, but with the latter being traded to the Ottawa Senators this summer, Boston essentially put all its confidence in Swayman to be the No. 1 goalie for the foreseeable future.

It’s not unusual for restricted free-agent negotiations to go down to the wire. When they were restricted free agents in 2019, Charlie McAvoy and Brandon Carlo both signed after camp had already begun.

Without Swayman, who was both an All-Star and outstanding in the playoffs last year, the Bruins would start camp with a likely goalie tandem of Joonas Korpisalo, who is coming off the worst season of his career and Brandon Bussi, who has never faced a shot in an NHL game.

Montgomery said he’s confident in Boston’s goalie group because of the success goalie coach Bob Essensa has had over the last 22 years.

MARCHAND OUT: When the Bruins take the ice to start training camp on Thursday, Brad Marchand will not be on the ice.

Sweeney said Marchand is progressing, but not ready, but expected he’d be ready for the Oct. 8 season opener.

Marchand, who turned 36 in May, revealed earlier this month that he had three surgeries to fix previously unrevealed ailments.

“I had three surgeries this summer,” he said on Sept. 3 “So I didn’t do a whole lot of training until about two weeks ago. I’m just getting back into it. The goal is to try to be ready for camp or if not shortly after. I’m getting back in the swing of things now.”

Marchand said he tore a tendon in his elbow, had surgery on his groin and an abdominal procedure to repair a sports hernia.

At last week’s Bruins Foundation Golf Tournament, he wasn’t sure if he’d be ready for camp.

“I feel good. Better every day. If I don’t start camp, it’ll be first couple of days,” Marchand said. “Everything is progressing faster than I think was expected. The concern coming back was my arm and how long that would take. But I’m shooting and passing. … I’m still going to have to catch up conditioning-wise. It takes a little longer to come back. All in all I’m at where I’m at.”

Pushed about whether he’d be ready for the Bruins’ Oct. 8 season opener at Florida.

“I’d be very surprised if I wasn’t ready to go opening night,” Marchand said. “Until I can get into a battle situation where I can really test it, I don’t know, but with how it’s progressing, I should be fine for the season.”
