Watch the trailer for the Prime Video NHL docuseries featuring Bruins

As Bruins fans anxiously wait for Jeremy Swayman and the Bruins to agree to a new contract, they can kill time by re-watching the 25-year-old goaltender’s dominant playoff run this fall on the small screen, thanks to Amazon Prime Video.

Both Swayman and Bruin colleague David Pastrnak will appear in “FACEOFF: Inside the NHL,” a six-episode docuseries produced by Box To Box and NHL Productions that premieres October 4.

The series will feature exclusive access to some of the NHL’s top stars, with video crews embedded with various players and their families throughout the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Each episode will offer insight into players’ lives during the playoffs, including microphone-enabled content on the ice, in the locker room and away from the rink.

Both Pastrnak and Swayman will appear in their own episodes.

Pastrnak and Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander will take center stage in Episode 1, titled “Best of Rivals,” with Boston’s first-round matchup against the Maple Leafs the subject of the opening episode. Pastrnak and Nylander have been friends for a long time, having played on the same junior team in Sweden.

“If we don’t win the Cup, it doesn’t matter who goes through in the first round,” Pastrnak tells Nylander as the two eat at a restaurant in the recently released trailer for the series.

Swayman is featured in Episode 3, titled “Learning to Win,” alongside Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk.

Other NHL stars appearing in the series include Oilers captain Connor McDavid and forwards Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman; Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel; Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog; Predators forward Filip Forsberg; New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba; and Canucks captain Quinn Hughes.

Boston sports events will be a common fixture on the small screen in 2024.

“The Dynasty” — produced by Apple TV+ — aired earlier this year and chronicled the Patriots’ two-decade run at the top of the NFL (while receiving plenty of criticism from fans and former players along the way.)

“Starting 5” — a docuseries focusing on Celtics star Jayson Tatum and other top NBA players during the 2023-24 season — will debut on Netflix on Oct. 9. Netflix will also release a docuseries about the 2004 Red Sox on Oct. 23, with another series documenting the 2024 Red Sox season set to debut later in 2025.
