Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark is out day-to-day with an injury, according to The Athletic's Fluto Shinzawa. Ullmark is with the club on its road trip, but Jeremy Swayman is expected to start against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday.
After making a glove save on Logan Cooley, Ullmark went down and had to be helped off the ice. Swayman replaced the Swede, and Nick Schmaltz scored the winner on the first shot Swayman faced.
Ullmark has played well while splitting duties with Swayman this season. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner is 13-5-2 with a .915 save percentage.
That pales in comparison to his .938 mark from a season ago, but Ullmark ranks among the league leaders in goals saved above expected and goals saved above average both at five-on-five and in all situations in 2023-24, according to Evolving-Hockey.
Bruins rookie forward Matt Poitras is also day-to-day. He left in the third period of the loss on Tuesday following a collision with Coyotes defenseman Sean Durzi.
