Ullmark will protect the home goal versus the Devils on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark has struggled a bit lately, going 3-4-1 with a 3.79 GAA and an .893 save percentage over his last eight games. He's given up at least three goals in seven of those outings. The Devils have warmed up lately with three straight wins, scoring 13 goals in that span, so it could be a tough matchup for Ullmark to get himself back on track.

Ullmark is expected to start in Saturday's road game against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark has a 10-4-2 record, 2.86 GAA and .912 save percentage in 16 contests this season. Those are okay numbers, but he's been dreadful recently, posting a 3.89 GAA and an .889 save percentage over his last seven outings. To make matters worse, the Wild scored four goals on 30 shots in a 4-3 overtime win against Ullmark in his last start Tuesday, so the 30-year-old goaltender has already had problems when facing Minnesota.

Ullmark stopped 26 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
He had little chance on any of the pucks that beat him, as the Bruins defense had trouble dealing with traffic or getting to loose pucks in front of Ullmark. It's still the fifth straight start in which the veteran netminder has allowed at least three goals, and he carries a 3.31 GAA and .903 save percentage over that stretch despite a superficially strong 3-1-1 record.

Ullmark will protect the home net versus the Wild on Tuesday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark has hit a rough patch, going 3-3-0 with 22 goals allowed over his last six appearances. He's allowed at least three goals in five of those contests. Ullmark will catch a slight reprieve against the Wild, who are on the second half of a back-to-back after losing 4-3 to the Penguins on Monday.

Ullmark turned aside 33 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Friday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran netminder was particularly impressive in the first period when the Isles came away empty-handed despite firing 15 shots on net. The Bruins' defense hasn't been as airtight as usual lately, with Ullmark facing at least 33 shots in four straight starts, but he's still managed to win three of the four. On the season he sports a 10-4-1 record with a 2.79 GAA and .915 save percentage, solid numbers but a big step backward from his Vezina-winning form of 2022-23.

Ullmark is expected to start on the road against the Islanders on Friday, per Shawn Hutcheon of The Fourth Period.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark has won two of his last three starts, but he also surrendered three goals in each of those outings. He's 9-4-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .917 save percentage in 14 contests this year. The Islanders are tied for 17th offensively this campaign with 3.07 goals per game. New York is also red hot, winning six of its last seven contests while scoring at least three goals in each game during that stretch.

Ullmark stopped 31 of 34 shots in a 5-3 win over Arizona on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark allowed two goals on 10 shots in the second period and surrendered another marker in the third frame, but he got enough offensive support to collect his ninth win in 14 contests this campaign. He also has a 2.71 GAA and a .917 save percentage in 2023-24. Those ratios aren't bad, but they are nowhere near his stellar 1.89 GAA and .938 save percentage from last year. Ullmark has allowed at least three goals in each of his last three appearances and four of his past five outings, so he's working through some adversity. Boston typically rotates between its goaltenders, making Jeremy Swayman the likely starter for Wednesday's road game versus New Jersey.

Ullmark will patrol the home crease versus Arizona on Saturday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark has an 8-4-1 record with a 2.69 GAA and a .918 save percentage this season. He is the defending Vezina Trophy winner after a 40-6-1 record in 2022-23, so his play has faltered slightly this campaign. The Coyotes saw their five-game winning streak snapped Thursday in a 4-1 loss to the Flyers. Arizona is averaging 27.1 shots per game, second lowest in the NHL.

Ullmark made 32 saves in a 3-1 loss to the Sabres on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
John-Jason Peterka beat Ullmark clean top corner from behind the the left circle early in the second period to open the scoring. And Ullmark had no chance on Tage Thompson's rocket one-timer from the high slot late in the second that made it 2-0. Victor Olofsson completed a 2-on-1 rush at 11:16 of the third to push the score to 3-1. Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman are in a straight platoon and both look good, although the latter has a bit of a statistical edge. Still, they both play behind one of the NHL's best teams, and that means that Ullmark remains an auto-start whenever he's in the blue paint.

Ullmark will defend the home crease versus Buffalo on Thursday, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI,com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark spent the first six seasons of his career with the Sabres before signing as a UFA with Boston in July of 2021. His career took off with the Bruins as he has gone 74-19-4 since signing with Boston. Ullmark is 8-3-1 with a 2.65 GAA and .918 save percentage this season. The Sabres are 25th in NHL scoring this season, averaging 2.85 goals per game, a huge dip from last season when they averaged 3.57 goals per contest, third best in the league.
