Splitting up the NHL's most attached goalie tandem?
It sounds inconceivable, and yet, increasingly, so too does a 2024-25 season where Linus Ullmark remains the No. 2 goaltender in Boston.
The Bruins have an embarrassment of riches in goal. During the 2023-24 regular season, both Jeremy Swayman and Ullmark ranked in the league's top 10 in goals against (2.53 and 2.58, respectively) and save percentage (.916 and .915, respectively).
Swayman shifted into another gear in the postseason, effectively ending the Bruins' tandem system they had employed throughout the regular season, but that says more about Swayman's dominance in net than it does about Ullmark's performance.
