There has been a lot of hype heading into tonight's game with the Boston Bruins hosting the Ottawa Senators marking Linus Ullmark's first return to TD Garden.
There was a lot of speculation regarding whether or not fans would get to see a hug from Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark. Well we indeed did get to see a hug at centre ice moments before puck drop.
During the pregame warmups Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman came together at centre ice and shared a wholesome moment together.
After giving each other a hug, the two set up and posed for a photo together. Although the hug wasn't anything like they use to do when they won a game, it was still nice to see it once again.
Here is the full video of the encounter:
Heading into this game Swayman was emotional having to face his former teammate, and best friend instead of playing together, and Swayman even called Ullmark his "brother for life".
When the Ottawa Senators were being announced, Linus Ullmark got a standing ovation from Bruins fans after having his name announced as the starting goaltender.
