BOSTON — In their first game back from a five-game road trip, the Bruins were predictably far from perfect on Tuesday at TD Garden.
Fortunately for them, Linus Ullmark was pretty close to it — and just hair better than his counterpart, Ottawa Senator netminder Mads Soogard.
Ullmark (40 saves) turned away 21 shots in the second period to preserve a slim 2-1 lead and the Bruins hung on for the 2-1 victory, killing a late Charlie Coyle penalty to survive.
