Goaltender Linus Ullmark is helping the Boston Bruins to a record pace with his stellar play in net. Now the All-Star has added a rare goalie goal to his repertoire.
He was mobbed by Bruins players then skated to the Boston bench for a goal scorer's traditional fist bump with teammates.
"It's one of the dreams I always had, that I wanted to score a goal and now I had the opportunity," he told reporters."I tried in the Winter Classic and didn't really make it, and now everything came together.""I appreciate that gesture from them," he said. Only 13 goaltenders have been credited with a goal in NHL history. Ullmark is the eighth to shoot the puck into the net and the first Bruins goalie. The others were credited when the goaltender was the last player to touch the puck before the opponent scored an own goal.
