The second-to-last place Arizona Coyotes weren’t an easy out in the Boston Bruins’ 2-1 victory on Friday at Gila River Arena.
The Coyotes forced Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark to be at his best, and the former Buffalo Sabre stepped up with a 30-save performance.
Making his second straight start following Wednesday night’s overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche, Ullmark faced numerous quality scoring chances late as Arizona turned up the pressure with the extra attacker, but Boston held on to claim a hard-fought two points.
“He certainly played well enough today,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said.
