The Boston Bruins Set To Acquire A Goalie Following Injury News
The recent 4-3 loss for the Boston Bruins not only marked defeat but raised questions about their goaltending situation.
Linus Ullmark's injury, forcing an early exit, prompts speculation: Will the Bruins explore the NHL trade market for a goalie?
As Ullmark faces a potential stint on injured reserve, General Manager Don Sweeney must decide between an experienced backup from the trade market or AHL star Brandon Bussi.
Bussi, expected to back up Jeremy Swayman in upcoming games, adds an untested element to the equation.
An NHL executive highlights the uncertainty:
Trade speculation around Ullmark had circulated during the offseason and early season, with talks of leveraging him for a top-six center. The Ullmark-Swayman duo diminished these rumors, but the recent injury rekindles the need for a veteran backup.
The Bruins, refraining from media interaction, await Ullmark's status, turning the potential goalie trade into a hypothetical scenario until more details emerge.
