In the off-season, the Boston Bruins opted to trade ex-Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators and it hasn't looked like a good move since.
The Bruins acquired Joonas Korpisalo and Mark Kastelic along with a 1st-round pick in the trade, and they have all been solid for the Boston Bruins, but Jeremy Swayman has not lived up to the hype this year.
Boston Signed Jeremy Swayman to a massive contract in the off-season and he has yet to live up to it 57 games into the season.
Ullmark, and Swayman both got announced to their respected Nations rosters for the Four Nations Face-off tournament, and today Team Sweden made a big move involving Ullmark.
Filip Gustavsson played a solid game against Team Canada, keeping Sweden in the game the whole time, but he was unable to do the same against Finland.
Gustavsson allowed two goals on four shots in the first period during their game against their biggest rival in Finland.
Sweden's ended up shifting to Linus Ullmark for the second period pulling Gustavsson from the game.
Ultimately, Ullmark would allow two goals as well on 17 shots, and Sweden ended up losing to their biggest rival in overtime off a goal from Mikael Granlund.
