Ullmark became just the sixth goaltender in NHL history to win the �'Triple Crown'' for leading the league in wins (40), GAA (1.89) and SV% (.938). He also became the fastest goalie ever to 20, 30 and 40 wins in a single season, and he accomplished it in just 48 games.
Leading to former Boston netminder and current NESN analyst, Andrew Raycroft, to make a bold statement about how dominant Ullmark's season was:
Ullmark finished with an overall record of 40-6-1. Only Alexandar Georgiev of the Avalanche can tie him in wins. Sitting at 39 on the season, Colorado and Georgiev are currently leading the Predators 3-1.
*For reference, Georgiev took 62 games to (maybe) reach 40 wins.
