Bruins Goalie Linus Ullmark Involved In Game 4 Fight Vs. Panthers

Tempers flared towards the final minutes of Game 4 between the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers on Sunday evening.

While nothing beyond the ordinary, this time goaltender Linus Ullmark elected to take a break from stumping the Panthers’ offense and drop his gloves to challenge Matthew Tkachuk.

In the third period, Ullmark held Florida off the net. After Bruins teammates Derek Forbort and Brandon Carlo tag-teamed Tkachuk, a full-out brawl ensued between Boston and Florida, which the on-ice officials struggled to clear up. But when they did, Ullmark and Tkachuk exchanged words, promoting the Vezina Trophy favorite.

Fearless as he’s been all season long, attempting to faze Ullmark in the third period did nothing for the Panthers, who now trail the series, 3-1, after Boston’s 6-2 victory in Game 4.

The 29-year-old All-Star finished with a playoff career-high 41 saves, playing 56:49 minutes on the ice before Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery played Jeremy Swayman between the pipes with Ullmark was penalized.

The Bruins are now one win away from sending the Panthers to elimination. Boston will have a shot at delivering the ultimate blow to Florida on Wednesday night in front of the TD Garden home crowd in Game 5.
