Ullmark (lower body) skated Saturday but isn't expected to play in the evening's road contest against St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark has a 13-5-2 record, 2.75 GAA and .915 save percentage in 21 outings this season. Given that he's skating, the goaltender might still be able to return for Monday's home game versus New Jersey. In the meantime, Jeremy Swayman is expected to start Saturday.

Ullmark is traveling with the Bruins, but he remains day-to-day and consequently is not expected to play in Thursday's road contest versus Vegas, per Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark might still be an option for Saturday's contest in St. Louis. He suffered the injury during Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Arizona. The 30-year-old netminder has a 13-5-2 record, 2.75 GAA and .915 save percentage in 21 appearances this season. Boston is likely to lean on Jeremy Swayman while Ullmark is unavailable.

Ullmark suffered a lower-body injury while making a save in Tuesday's game versus the Coyotes, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark's 32nd save of the contest was costly, as he needed to be helped off the ice. Jeremy Swayman took over in net and gave up the decisive goal in overtime on the first shot he faced. Given the late nature of the injury, details of the severity are unlikely to be available Tuesday, leaving Ullmark's status questionable going forward.

Ullmark will guard the road goal versus the Coyotes on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark is set to play the second half of a back-to-back. He's won his last three outings, allowing just six goals in that span to get back on track after a rough December. The Coyotes' offense has been cold lately with just 12 goals over the six games, so Ullmark has a good chance to keep things rolling.

Ullmark made 23 saves in a 7-3 win over the Lightning on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He and Bruins got off to a queasy start when Brayden Point finishing off a Nikita Kucherov feed from behind the net just 21 seconds into the game. But Ullmark settled down, and his teammates got to work, tying the game at 4:42 of the same frame and never looking back. Ullmark has won three consecutive games, and he's 6-2-1 in nine games since the start of December. His game may be settling down a bit, but he has still allowed three or more goals in seven of those nine starts. Last season was lightning in a bottle. But wins are wins.

Ullmark was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Eric Russo of the Bruins' official site, indicating he will protect the home net Saturday against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark has won his past two outings, stopping 57 of 60 shots. In 19 games this season, he has posted a 12-5-2 record with a 2.72 GAA and a .916 save percentage. The Lightning rank eighth in the league with 3.41 goals per contest this campaign.

Ullmark made 26 saves in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
A Kent Johnson snipe from the high slot spoiled Ullmark's shutout bid early in the second period, but otherwise the veteran netminder stymied the Blue Jackets. He has just one regulation loss in his last six starts, going 4-1-1 with a 2.79 GAA and .913 save percentage, and Ullmark is showing signs he may be regaining last year's form -- he's allowed two goals or less in back-to-back outings for the first time since mid-November.

Ullmark will protect the road goal versus the Blue Jackets on Tuesday, Jack Edwards of NESN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark went 4-2-1 in December, but his 3.09 GAA and .909 save percentage were noticeably worse than his usual performance. He'll get a soft matchup to begin January -- the Blue Jackets have won just two of their last nine games, and their offense is often inconsistent.

Ullmark made 31 saves in a 5-2 victory over the Devils on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Nico Hischier opened the scoring in the first period with a one-timer on the power play. Luke Hughes pushed the score to 2-0 just 1:11 into the second with a wrist shot from the top of the left circle. After that, Ullmark bricked up the net with 23 saves and his teammates did the rest with five unanswered goals. It was his first win in his last three games (1-1-1). Ullmark has solid numbers this season (11 wins; 2.82 GAA, .916 save percentage), but they pale in comparison to his once-in-a-lifetime Vezina work from last year (40 wins; 1.89 GAA, .938 save percentage). While the Bruins are still locked in a timeshare, platoon-mate Jeremy Swayman has delivered near league-leading stats (10 wins; 2.17 GAA, .929 save percentage). There's no indication of a shift in playing time, but at some point in the next year Swayman could ascend to the role of clear-cut starter. Ullmark is signed through 2024-25.
