Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark officially reunite together
A recent photograph was tweeted on the X platform showing Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman reunited with former Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark.
The former Bruins tandem along with Bruins defenseman Hampus Lindholm were participating in David Pastrnak's wedding in Croatia. It was a celebration that the entire team was involved and former teammates who were invited. The picture showed that both men certainly had a bond as teammates especially tandem goaltending which was one of the best in the NHL.
Ullmark was moved to the Ottawa Senators earlier this summer after general manager Don Sweeney was convinced that Swayman is the player to lead the Bruins through the next several years. The only issue is, they have yet to come up with a contract for him as it appears negotiations have been bogged down and nothing has been mentioned on the horizon.
This year's playoffs showed management that Swayman is ready to take the next step in his game, and having played 44 games in the season, he had a record of 25-10-8 and a goal against of 2.53 and a save percentage of .916 with three shutouts.
It remains to be seen on whether this was the correct decision but as the clock ticks, Sweeney will begin to feel the pressure as he will need his star goaltender signed under a new deal.
