This former Bruins star is now between the pipes for Sweden.
During their Feb. 15 contest against Team Finland, Team Sweden pulled starting goaltender Filip Gustavsson after he allowed two goals on four shots. With this, former Boston Bruins star goalie Linus Ullmark has come into the contest.
This is Ullmark's first time getting into action during the 4 Nations Face-Off. Sweden went with Gustavsson for their opener against Team Canada, and the Minnesota Wild netminder allowed four goals on 28 shots in the overtime loss.
Ullmark, 31, has appeared 25 games this season with the Ottawa Senators, where he had a 12-9-2 record, a 2.49 goals-against average, and a .915 save percentage. This is after he had a 22-10-7 record, a 2.57 goals-against average, and a .915 save percentage in 40 games last season with Boston.
