Linus Ullmark scored the NHL’s first goalie goal since 2020 as the Boston Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Saturday night.
Goaltender Linus Ullmark is helping the Boston Bruins to a record pace with his stellar play in net.
Now the All-Star has added a rare goalie goal to his repertoire.
Ullmark scored the NHL’s first goalie goal since Nashville Predators netminder Pekka Rinne’s 2020 achievement as the Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Saturday night.
The Vezina Trophy front-runner stopped a rolling puck just below the faceoff circle, set up and wristed a shot toward the empty Vancouver net. The Swedish goaltender’s shot landed between the Canucks faceoff circles and bounced in at 19:12 of the third period to give the Bruins a 3-1 lead.
