Playing career

Szwarz played for the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League from 2007–2011 and became the team’s third all-time leading scorer with 204 career OHL points. In the 2010–11 season with the Spirit, Szwarz was recognised as the team's Most Valuable Player and was awarded the Heart and Soul Award.[1]

Szwarz made his professional debut with the San Antonio Rampage in the 2009–10 season.

On October 29, 2013, Szwarz made his NHL debut playing eight minutes and 16 seconds for the Phoenix Coyotes in a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings.[2] His first NHL goal was scored in his next NHL game, on October 31 against Carter Hutton of the Nashville Predators.

After a career-best year in the AHL with the Providence Bruins in scoring 54 points in 65 games in the 2016–17 season, Szwarz signed as a free agent with Providence's NHL affiliate the Boston Bruins on a one-year, two-way deal on July 1, 2017.[3]

During the 2017–18 season, having played his first games in the NHL with the Boston Bruins since 2015, Szwarz was signed to a one-year, two-way contract extension on March 31, 2018.[4]
