A Major Rivalry Set To Develop Between Swayman And Ullmark Following Latest Announcement
The Boston Bruins and Jeremy Swayman could end up facing an old friend Linus Ullmark in the playoffs. Could an Eastern Conference rivalry develop as a result?
The Ottawa Senators have surprised NHL pundits as they're four points shy from the Bruins who hold 3rd place in the Atlantic.
This could create an interesting storyline, as both teams are in battle for a wild card spot in the playoffs.
In the net for the Ottawa Senators is Linus Ullmark, who is now starting goalie for the team, and will face Swayman and the Bruins.
This could prove to be an exciting match-up as the close friends could become frenemies in the playoffs, and engage in a duel that could affect the Eastern Conference playoff picture significantly.
The Senators defeated the Bruins in overtime, 3-2 on November 9th the first time the teams met this season. While there's still more time before the playoff picture is decided they'll have to close the four-point gap between themselves and the Bruins in order to position themselves for a shot.
This could prove to be a great rivalry in the NHL, as two former teammates will duel for a full 60 minutes to prove one goalie is better than the other.
Swayman will have to match Ullmark's Vezina Trophy-winning style play in order to keep the Bruins in the hunt for the post-season.
The Senators are 19-7-2 and 5th in the Atlantic Division at the moment and will have to win at least two games with the Bruins in order to lap the Tampa Bay Lightning.
This could be the start of an amazing rivalry.
