Ullmark credits specific veteran's 'tough love' for success this season
At 29, Linus Ullmark is on pace for a career-high season.
The Swede is currently sitting on an absurd 24-2-1 record, with a 1.89 GAA and a .937 SV%. But what keeps the Bruins netminder from getting complacent?
According to Scott McLaughlin of WEEI, it's one specific veteran presences' �'tough love'' that has helped him reach his absolute full potential.
When asked what keeps him from staying satisfied this season, Ullmarks's answer was remarkable:
Ullmark notched NHL win number 100 with a 4-1 win over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night. But just like Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand, was nothing but humble.
Ullmark continues to pace all goaltenders in Wins, GAA, SV% and GSAx. Starting and ending the Vezina conversation without his name is a disservice at this point.
