Linus Ullmark Has Shocked Response to Save-of-the-Season Moment

Ottawa Senators goalie Linus Ullmark became a save of the season candidate on Thursday night—and he did it against his former team, the Boston Bruins.

The Swedish netminder dove across the crease to snag a one-time shot from Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei while in mid air as if he were shortstop. 

Ottawa won the game 6-3 and Ullmark's save lit up social media feeds across the sports world.

“I was just laughing,” Ullmark said. “Sometimes, you think and wonder how did that happen? Like, how? What happened prior? How did I get here? You just have to smile and laugh about it because you saved it. And then you let it go and focus on the next one. Because you don’t want to make a brilliant save like that and then end up having a bad goal right after just because you’re so caught up in the moment of feeling like a stud after making that save. You’ve got to keep yourself toned down a little bit and focus on the next one.”
