In 2023, Boston Bruins’ Swedish goaltender Linus Ullmark was awarded the Vezina Trophy, the prize for the NHL’s best goaltender, as the third Swede ever.
But now, after a less successful season, the Swede is being traded to the Ottawa Senators.
He is tried against the Finnish goalkeeper Joonas Korpisalothe center Mark Kastelic as well as Ottawa’s 25th pick in the first round of the summer draft.
The article continues below.
During the past season, the 30-year-old was poked and had to watch from the bench when his goalkeeper colleague Jeremy Swayman have convinced. Now the organization chooses to get rid of Ullmark after three seasons, who instead moves to Canada and Ottawa.
However, the Swede’s new club has had a much tougher time than Boston in recent years. The team finished 26th, and has not made the playoffs since the 2016/17 season.
The Swede will now compete with his former Modo colleague Anton Forsberg about the goalkeeper position.
