Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark posted his first shutout of the season on Tuesday with a 27-save effort against Toronto in a 3-0 win. It's his ninth career shutout, which ties Eddie Lack for the seventh-most among Swedish netminders. The shutout came at a great time, as Ullmark probably needed a confidence boost after finishing three consecutive starts with a save percentage below .900. He has had a rollercoaster ride with the Senators so far, going 4-4-0 with a 2.51 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage. However, Ullmark has now picked up two consecutive wins, and Thursday's meeting with the offensively challenged Philadelphia Flyers gives him a good opportunity to continue on the winning path.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) will return to the crease on Friday versus Vegas. He has missed four contests after sustaining a muscle strain. This will be Ullmark's third start as a Senator. He beat Florida 3-1 in his debut with 31 saves but was hammered by Montreal 4-1 in his second outing. The Swedish veteran has registered a good .914 save percentage with his new team. Ullmark's numbers could take a beating on Friday, as the Golden Knights have gone a perfect 4-0-0 on home ice, averaging 5.25 goals per game.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) will remain on the shelf for Thursday's clash with the Devils. The Senators hoped to have their No. 1 back on Thursday after he sat out Monday's matchup against Los Angeles, but Anton Forsberg will get another start, with Mads Sogaard working as his backup. Ullmark's next chance to return comes on Saturday versus Tampa Bay. Forsberg gave up three goals on nine shots on Monday and was pulled in the second period in favor of Sogaard, who didn't look sharp either, but the team somehow squeezed out an 8-7 victory in overtime. It could be another bad day at the office for Forsberg on Thursday, as he faces a very talented offense. The Devils have averaged 3.17 goals per game while going 4-2-0.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) might be ready to return to action on Thursday against New Jersey. Ullmark was sidelined for Monday's meeting with the Kings due to a muscle strain. However, he skated on Wednesday, and Senators head coach Travis Green said that Ullmark could play against the Devils. The Swedish netminder has gone 1-1-0 to start the year, allowing 2.58 goals with a .914 save percentage. His career record against the Devils stands at an impressive 11-4-0.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark sat out Monday's matchup against Los Angeles due to a muscle strain. Senators head coach Travis Green doesn't expect Ullmark to be out for long but said he doesn't know if the 2023 Vezina Trophy winner will be ready for the next game on Thursday versus New Jersey. Before missing Monday's action, Ullmark went 1-1-0 with a 2.58 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage to start the season. Anton Forsberg started against the Kings but struggled and was replaced by Mads Sogaard in the second period. The two combined for a .731 save percentage in a high-scoring 8-7 overtime win, so things aren't looking good for Ottawa if Ullmark is forced to miss multiple games.
Linus Ullmark Agrees To Four-Year Extension With Senators
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark signed a four-year, $33 million extension on Wednesday. The new contract, which has an average annual value of $8.25 million, will kick in next season. Senators locked up Ullmark to a multi-year deal before he's even made his team debut. The Swedish netminder was acquired in a trade on June 24 following his impressive three-year stint with the Boston Bruins. The big extension indicates that the Senators have complete faith in Ullmark's ability to replicate the outstanding form in Ottawa. Ullmark, who picked up the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's best goalie in 2023, is set to see his first regular-season action as a Senator on Thursday against the Stanley Cup-defending Florida Panthers.
The Ottawa Senators acquired goaltender Linus Ullmark in a deal with the Boston Bruins on Monday night. Forward Mark Kastelic, goaltender Joonas Korpisalo, and a 2024 first-round draft pick were sent the other way. Ullmark moves on from Boston after enjoying three strong seasons with the Bruins. He won the Vezina Trophy as the league's best netminder in 2022-23 and shared the William M. Jennings Trophy in the same season for the fewest goals allowed per game with Jeremy Swayman. However, Swayman pipped him for the No. 1 job for the 2024 playoffs and is set for a large contract extension this offseason as a restricted free agent, meaning Ullmark became redundant for Boston. He looks like a great pickup for a Senators team that allowed 3.43 goals per game in 2023-24.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark is getting the starting nod for Tuesday's contest versus the visiting Ottawa Senators. The veteran has been alternating starts with Jeremy Swayman of late after Swayman had overtaken the starter's role despite Ullmark winning the Vezina Trophy last season. He was likely to repeat his tidy 1.89 goals-against average and .938 save percentage from 49 games last season but Ullmark still sports a quality 2.66 GAA and .912 Sv% across 33 outings (32 starts) this season, going 18-7-7 in the process. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest sitting atop the Atlantic Division with a 40-14-15 record, one point up on the Florida Panthers who have six more regulation wins.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark recorded his first shutout of the season on Thursday as the team beat the Canucks on home ice 4-0. A tough matchup turned out to be a walk in the park for Ullmark and the Bruins, as only 17 saves were needed to keep the league leaders from scoring. Ullmark improved to 16-6-2, and he boasts a 2.67 goals-against average with a .916 save percentage. The Bruins are among the top defensive teams in the league, and they are now tied for the fourth-most shutouts for the season, with four clean sheets registered.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark (lower body) is an option to start Thursday versus Colorado. He's been unavailable for three games while dealing with a lower-body injury. Ullmark has gone 13-5-2 this season while splitting starts with Jeremy Swayman. The latter has just posted his third shutout of the campaign, so it might be difficult to keep him out of action on Thursday, but Ullmark should be back between the pipes soon.
Linus Ullmark, Matt Poitras Remain Day-To-Day For Bruins
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark and forward Matt Poitras both remain day-to-day for the club and will remain on the club's four-game road trip. Ullmark left Tuesday's overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes midway through the extra frame with what is being labeled a lower-body injury. The 2022-23 Vezina Trophy winner hasn't been quite as sharp this season as he sports a 2.78 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage in 21 outings after posting an eye-popping 1.89 GAA and .938 Sv% in 49 games last season. Poitras also left Tuesday's game early with a shoulder injury after skating 8:34. The rookie has notched five goals and 15 points across his first 30 NHL games while recording 38 shots and a plus-four rating in that time.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark failed to complete Tuesday's game against Arizona due to a lower-body injury. The Swedish netminder exited the game 2:40 into overtime after getting hurt while making a save. He finished the contest with 32 stops and allowed three goals. Jeremy Swayman completed the tilt in the Bruins crease and didn't register any saves as Nick Schmaltz gave the Coyotes a 4-3 win inside the final minute of the extra frame. Boston has rotated its goalies throughout the season, but it will be fully Swayman's task to hold down the fort if Ullmark has to spend time on the sidelines.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark earned his ninth win of the season as he stopped 31-of-34 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 victory against the Coyotes. Ullmark bounced back from a loss in his most recent start against the Sabres, while he surrendered three goals in his third consecutive start. Ullmark has posted a record of 9-4-1 to go along with a 2.71 goals against average and .917 save percentage through 14 appearances, while forming one of the league's best goalie tandems with Jeremy Swayman.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark made it three wins in three starts for the season when he stopped 30 of 31 shots in a 3-1 victory over Anaheim on Sunday. Both netminders played a key role in the contest, as the first two periods finished goalless. Ullmark doesn't appear to have any plans of slowing down after winning the Vezina Trophy last season with a mind-boggling 40-6-1 record. In addition to winning all his three starts of the new campaign, he's allowed just one goal in each outing, producing a .962 save percentage. If Ullmark keeps this up, he could become the first back-to-back Vezina winner since Martin Brodeur in 2007 and 2008.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark won the 2022-23 Vezina Trophy as the NHL's best netminder Monday. The 29-year-old had a phenomenal regular season with a 40-6-1 record while posting a 1.89 goals-against average with a .938 save percentage and two shutouts. Boston became the first club to have four different Vezina Trophy winners under the current selection criteria (since 1981-82). Ullmark, who is the third Swedish netminder to win the Vezina Trophy, was also voted to the NHL First All-Star Team, and he picked up the William M. Jennings Trophy for the work he did with Jeremy Swayman in helping the Bruins become the team with the fewest goals allowed during the regular season.
Linus Ullmark Between The Pipes For Game 6 Versus Florida
Boston Bruins netminder Linus Ullmark faced 25 shots and allowed four goals, resulting in a 4-3 loss to the Florida Panthers In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first-round series. While Ullmark had a spectacular regular season, his performance during the first round has been average in comparison. He holds a 3-2-0 record, a 2.79 goals-against-average, and a .912 save percentage. In Game 6, we will be looking to redeem himself and help his team close out the series.
Linus Ullmark Minding The Crease For Boston In Game 5
Boston Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark put on a stellar performance, turning away 41 of 43 shots and leading his team to a crucial 6-2 victory over the Florida Panthers, giving them a 3-1 series lead in his last outing. The 29-year-old was the top goalie in the NHL during the regular season. He has carried his impressive play into the post-season, posting a record of 3-1-0, a 2.55 goals-against-average, and a .926 save percentage. As he faces off against the Panthers in Boston on Wednesday for Game 5, Ullmark will look to continue his dominant run and secure the series win.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) is regarded as a game-time decision for Friday's meeting with Florida. The Bruins No. 1 wasn't on the ice Friday morning and could now also be unavailable for Game 3 of the first-round series. Ullmark has had a mixed start in the matchup. He was rock-solid in the first game with 30 saves but struggled in Game 2 and ended up giving up over three goals in a start for just the third time this season. Being without Ullmark would obviously be a blow for the Bruins, but Jeremy Swayman isn't a bad backup option. He has dropped only three of his last 14 starts.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for the regular-season finale Thursday against Montreal. The Swedish netminder made an early exit Tuesday against Washington and won't travel with the team to Canada. However, head coach Jim Montgomery noted that Ullmark will be kept out of action only as a precaution, so he should be ready to go when the playoffs start. In Tuesday's 5-2 win, Ullmark became the fastest goalie ever to hit 40 wins in a season. He needed only 49 games to get there, posting a 40-6-1 record. Boston will want to get 16 more wins out of him during the postseason.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark stopped 35-of-38 shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 shootout victory against the Blues.

Ullmark improves his record to 38-6-1 during his career-best season, to go along with two shutouts, a 1.90 goals against average and .937 save percentage through 47 appearances.
