If you would have asked Buffalo Sabres fans a season or two ago who the team’s future in net was, many probably would’ve said Linus Ullmark. Let’s face it, not many of us could’ve seen Robin Lehner in a long-term net minder spot with this team.
For the past few seasons, it seemed like Ullmark would be the Sabres’ future in net.
After being drafted by the Sabres in 2012, Ullmark played three seasons in Sweden before finally making the jump to North America.
Ullmark has appeared in at least one NHL game in each season since coming to the United States, but has also been developing his game at the AHL level with the Rochester Americans.
