The Bruins have a new netminder in place for the 2024-25 season … at least for now.
Boston dealt Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators on Monday evening — acquiring the No. 25 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, pugnacious bottom-six forward Mark Kastelic, and goalie Joonas Korpisalo.
Korpisalo, 30, is currently slated to be Jeremy Swayman’s primary backup, with the Finnish product entering the second season of a five-year, $20 million contract.
The 6-foot-3 goalie could be due for a rebound season in Boston after a dreadful stint in Ottawa — or he could be shipped elsewhere before the start of the 2024-25 season even begins.
