The Bruins goaltender ended his two-game losing streak to improve to 8-3-1 in 2023-24. He also has a 2.65 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 12 appearances this season.

Rotowire

Bruins' Linus Ullmark: Buried by Blueshirts
Rotowire
Ullmark made 33 saves in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers.
The Bruins were playing their second straight afternoon game and third contest in the last four days, and they looked tired. The Blueshirts jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and went ahead for good with a late surge in the second. Ullmark was left in net for all seven tallies -- the most goals he's allowed in a game in a Boston jersey -- and the rough outing added nearly half a goal to his GAA on the season. Despite the stumble, the veteran netminder still sports a 2.58 GAA and .918 save percentage to go with his 7-2-1 record.

Bruins' Linus Ullmark: Wins third straight
Rotowire
Ullmark made 27 saves in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
His shutout bid got spoiled midway through the second period when a Nick Cousins shot from the blue line deflected off Anton Lundell and into the back of the net, but Ullmark otherwise handled everything sent his way. The 30-year-old remains one of the NHL's elite netminders, and through nine starts this season he's 7-1-1 with a 2.10 GAA and .932 save percentage. Despite those dazzling numbers, the Bruins' strict timeshare will likely put the equally sharp Jeremy Swayman back in the crease Friday against the Red Wings.

Bruins' Linus Ullmark: Cruises to sixth win
Rotowire
Ullmark made 32 saves in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.
The 30-year-old had a shutout going until late in the second period, when Victor Olofsson banged home the rebound on an Owen Power shot that sailed wide of the Boston net but bounced off the end boards and came right back out front. Ullmark has picked up right where he left off last season, when he won the Vezina Trophy, going 6-1-1 through his first eight starts of 2023-24 with a 2.23 GAA and .928 save percentage.

Bruins' Linus Ullmark: Back in win column
Rotowire
Ullmark turned aside 27 shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
The Bruins didn't take control of the game until the third period, but Ullmark was sharp through the first 40-plus minutes as he rebounded from taking his first regulation loss of the season in his last outing. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner is 5-1-1 to begin the current campaign with a 2.26 GAA and .926 save percentage, but Boston is quite happy splitting the workload in the crease, as Jeremy Swayman (6-0-0, 1.49 GAA and .952 save percentage) has been even better. Look for Swayman to get the nod Saturday in Montreal.

Bruins' Linus Ullmark: Stuck with first regulation loss
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 35 shots in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.
Boston held one-goal leads after the first and second periods, but Ullmark couldn't weather the storm in the third as Detroit's puck luck finally turned -- one of the late tallies the netminder allowed came after David Perron fanned on his initial shot, putting Ullmark out of position, while the game-winner rang off the post and straight onto Andrew Copp's stick. The shots faced and goals allowed were both season highs for Ullmark, and despite the off night, he still sports a 4-1-1 record with a 2.30 GAA and .926 save percentage on the season.

Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 35 of 37 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers.
Ullmark allowed two goals on 16 shots in the first period before he'd settle in and blank the Panthers over the rest of the game as the Bruins overcame a 2-0 deficit for a 3-2 overtime victory.

Overall, the 30-year-old netminder is 4-0-1 with a .939 save percentage to begin the season.

Bruins' Linus Ullmark: Late collapse against Anaheim
Rotowire
Ullmark turned aside 28 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.
The Bruins seemed have the game well in hand with a 3-1 lead late in the third period, but they wound up taking their first loss of the season instead after a bad giveaway in front of Ullmark led to a Leo Carlsson goal with just under two minutes left, sparking the Ducks' comeback. Despite the stumble, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner still has a .937 save percentage through his first four starts with a 3-0-1 record, and the only limiting factor on his fantasy value is his timeshare with Jeremy Swayman.

Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 26 of 27 shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.
Ullmark didn't face much of a challenge, though Anthony Duclair broke up his shutout bid in the third period. Ullmark has allowed two goals on 48 shots through two starts so far, winning both of them, though he's yet to face a tough opponent. The 30-year-old will likely continue to share the crease with Jeremy Swayman -- both goalies should get a chance to start in a weekend back-to-back versus the Kings and Ducks.
