Linus Ullmark kept his first clean sheet for Ottawa as Toronto was defeated 3-0 in the NHL tonight.
– It’s always nice to win, he says to nhl.com.
He is in a slightly better period now, Linus Ullmark31. The Swedish goalkeeper has not had it easy since the switch from the Boston Bruins to the Ottawa Senators, but now it looks like the bad luck is about to turn.
Ullmark played great
During the night, his Ottawa was pitted against Toronto and then Ullmark had the task of standing up to his goal-dangerous compatriot William Nylandersomething he accomplished with that honor. Neither Nylander nor his teammates managed to get a hole in Ullmark, who saved 27 shots in the rivalry meeting and kept a clean sheet for the first time since the club change. Now Ottawa has won two straight games – most recently by 3-2 against his old team.

– It’s always fun to win, it doesn’t matter which team the victory comes against. We haven’t played well on the road this season, except against the Boston Bruins last time, he told nhl.com.
– We played very maturely the whole match. I thought we did a great job of doing the things that we talked about before the game and sticking to our game plan. We had done good scouting, he continues.
In February, Sweden will play a 4 Nations tournament in North America. The premiere is on February 12 and the matches are played in Montreal and Boston. In addition to Sweden, Canada, the USA and Finland also participate. Six Swedish players are already selected in Sam Hallams squad: Victor Hedman, Erik Karlsson, Gustav Forsling, Mika Zibanejad, William Nylander and Philip Forsberg. It may very well be that Ullmark is up for grabs as well, especially if he continues to play big like this.
