Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark were the NHL's strongest goalie tandem over the last few seasons, but that ended this summer. The Bruins, of course, traded Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators back in June, solidifying Swayman as the Bruins' true No. 1 goaltender.
While Swayman and Ullmark were teammates, they developed a close friendship, sharing the crease. They started the beloved goalie hug tradition after every win, which Bruins fans should remember for a long time. As a result of this and Ullmark being a star goalie, there are naturally Bruins fans out there who are unhappy about him no longer being with the team.
However, while Ullmark has been dealt, his friendship with Swayman remains strong. At a wedding in Italy, Swayman and Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm took a picture hugging Ullmark.
Seeing the former Bruins goalie duo (and Lindholm) reunite is outstanding. Although Ullmark has been moved to a division rival, he is still good buds with his former teammates.
It will be a blast to see Swayman and Ullmark face off against each other as opponents next season. Boston's first meeting with Ottawa is on Nov. 9 at 7:00 PM ET.
