The Boston Bruins threw conventional playoff goaltending wisdom out the window to begin their first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
With Jeremy Swayman’s impressive track record against Toronto, the Bruins turned to their 2017 fourth-round selection to begin a series for the first time in his career. Amid a heavy workload, the fourth-year netminder picked up where he left off, stopping all but one of the Leafs’ 36 shots on net in Boston’s 5-1 victory.
The Bruins didn’t provide Ullmark with as much offensive support during his 31-save outing in Game 2.
