BOSTON — The Bruins won their 64th game of the season in their regular season Garden finale on Tuesday, but they did not escape their 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals without a major concern.
Linus Ullmark had to leave the game with 9:39 left in the third period. Just a little bit earlier in the game, he had gotten up slowly after he slid into the post in attempt to make the save. There was no immediate word on his condition.
Ullmark, the clear Vezina Trophy favorite, is arguably the team MVP. And as good as Jeremy Swayman has been this year, especially lately, any potential loss of Ullmark would be devastating.
