Linus Ullmark Suffers An Upper-Body Injury
2 years agoBoston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark left Friday's game against Carolina with an upper-body injury. He was forced to leave in the third period when teammate Connor Clifton fell on him. Ullmark stopped 28 of 30 shots before exiting. Jeremy Swayman took over the crease after he left and helped the team to a 3-2 overtime victory with six saves. The severity of Ullmark's injury is currently unknown. Losing him would be a major blow for the Bruins, as the Swedish netminder has been immense this season, posting a near-perfect 13-1-0 record. He's been allowing fewer than two goals per game while Swayman entered Friday's action with a 3.08 goals-against average. He should be able to improve his numbers on a dominant team, but Ullmark has definitely been in better form this season.
