Bruins reportedly sign goalie Linus Ullmark

According to a report from NHL insider Darren Dreger, the Boston Bruins are set to sign unrestricted free agent goaltender Linus Ullmark to a contract.

And if you think Ullmark will play second fiddle to longtime Bruins starter Tuukka Rask... well think again. Bob McKenzie reports that Ullmark has essentially been signed due to an uncertain future between Rask and the Bruins.

BOS signed Ullmark because Rask, currently UFA, recently underwent hip surgery and recovery time is five to six months. When healthy, Rask may be interested in returning to BOS, and door may still be open for that, but what if Rask can’t or didn’t want to return? Hence Ullmark.
