Bruins coach Jim Montgomery did not say whether Linus Ullmark or backup Jeremy Swayman would get the call in Game 7 after Ullmark gave up six goals on 32 shots in Friday night’s loss.
The Boston Bruins aren’t ruling out a goalie change for Game 7 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers.
In fact, Boston coach Jim Montgomery thought about pulling starter Linus Ullmark during Game 6 on Friday night, a 7-5 loss for the Bruins in which Ullmark gave up six goals on 32 shots. Now the Bruins face elimination when they clash with Florida for a final time Sunday — and every player is under review.
Montgomery ultimately chose to stick with Ullmark in Game 6, but he didn’t say whether Ullmark or backup Jeremy Swayman would get the call in Game 7.
«We communicate with everybody involved, and we thought it was the kind of game we were going to pull out,» Montgomery said of not pulling Ullmark. «I think Linus is fine. I looked at him in his eyes a few times when he came back to the bench. I liked the way his eyes were looking. He looked intense and he looked keen.
