Linus Ullmark Returns to Ice Against Canadiens After Injury

Hey all you hockey enthusiasts, get ready to pencil Linus Ullmark back into your fantasy lineups because the Boston Bruins’ head honcho behind the bench, Jim Montgomery, has spilled the beans. That’s right, Ullmark is hopping back between the pipes to face off against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night after being MIA for four games. Looks like his stint in the injury box is over.

So, how’s our main man Ullmark been doing this season? Not too shabby! He’s clocked a record of thirteen wins, five losses, and a couple of those pesky OT setbacks, all while rocking a .915 save percentage in a cool twenty-one matchups. But Ullmark hit a snag back on January 9th, courtesy of an overtime tango with the Arizona Coyotes that left him licking his wounds. That’s when Jeremy Swayman jumped off the bench, probably in slow-mo, only to get welcomed with a puck zooming past him on his very first showdown in OT.

And guess who was the toast of last season? Yup, Ullmark. He snatched the Vezina Trophy with an eye-popping .938 save percentage, which is basically goaltending wizardry.

But wait, there’s more good news brewing for the Bruins. They’re not just getting their goalie back; they’re also rolling out the red carpet for their defensive juggernauts, Brandon Carlo and Derek Forbort, and they’re tossing their forward ace-in-the-hole Matt Poitras into the mix on Saturday as well. Talk about a comeback party.

Now let’s not forget about our boy Swayman. The dude was like a wall while Ullmark was on the sidelines. This Alaskan sensation left shooters frustrated and confused, boasting a magnificent three wins and a single OT heartbreaker. His save percentage? A jaw-dropping .937 after flipping away seven goals on a barrage of one hundred and eleven shots. Hot goalie alert!

So gear up, hockey fans—it’s about to go down with the Bruins fully armed and operational. The Canadiens better buckle up; it’s not just a game, it’s a goalie showcase!
