Patrice Bergeron left his mark on the Boston Bruins, and Linus Ullmark’s new mask provides a constant reminder of the former captain’s impact.
Ullmark took the ice for Boston’s preseason game against the Philadelphia Flyers, and Bergeron was a focal point of the reigning Vezina trophy winner’s helmet design.
Depicted on one side of Ullmark’s helmet are Bergeron, now-captain Brad Marchand, and former Bruin Tyler Seguin. The trio is seen celebrating a goal, and the image is taken directly from Boston’s improbable comeback win against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
In that game, with the playoff series tied 3-3, the Bruins trailed 4-1 but came back to win, 5-4, in overtime.
