Linus Ullmark will get the nod for Boston as they head to Washington for their season opener Wednesday night. The 29-year-old posted career highs in wins (26), GAA (2.45) and SV% (.917) in 2021-22 before losing the starting spot with a weak playoff showing. Coach Jim Montgomery has announced that Boston will likely rotate Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman for the first four games of the season.
Ullmark suffered an upper-body injury vs. the Senators on Thursday and will not be available on Saturday. Jeremy Swayman will get the nod with Troy Grosenick up from Providence to back-up.
Ullmark allowed four goals one 28 shots in the Bruins loss in Anaheim last Tuesday. Ullmark has been drastically outplayed by Jeremy Swayman lately but he'll get a chance tonight vs. the Kings. In his last six starts, Ullmark has gone 2-4-0 with an .875 SV%.
