Linus Ullmark is proving to the Boston Bruins (and the rest of the league) that he can be a number-one goaltender in the NHL.
With his most recent performance, which was a 30-save shutout of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night, Ullmark is doing something special.
Something that Bruins fans haven't witnessed since the prime days of Tim Thomas dominating the league.
The 29-year-old is now 6-0-0 on the season, with a 1.70 GAA and a .948 SV%. He's putting together the best October by a Boston goaltender since Thomas in the 2010-11 season, who went 6-0-0 with a .984 save percentage.
As per NHL Public Relations:
''Linus Ullmark became the fourth Bruins netminder to start a season with a win in six or more straight decisions, joining Tim Thomas (8-0-0 in 2010-11), Tuukka Rask (6-0-0 in 2016-17) and Tiny Thompson (6-0-0 in 1937-38).''
