BREAKING: Boston Call Up Goaltender From AHL on Emergency Basis
Following a potential injury to Linus Ullmark on Tuesday night, the Boston Bruins have reported that they are bringing up a goaltender on an emergency basis.
According to the Bruins' PR:
BOSTON - Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney announced today, April 12, that the team has recalled goaltender Brandon Bussi from Providence on an emergency basis.
Upcoming NHL Debut?
The Boston team is set to play against the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday evening, and Linus Ullmark will not join them. This means that Bussi may either serve as backup for Jeremy Swayman or have his first NHL appearance. Given that he has already set single-season records for points and wins, it would be almost unexpected if he didn't make his debut in the major league.
This season, 24-year-old Bussi was named an AHL All-Star, boasting a 21-5-4 record along with a 2.38 GAA, .925 SV%, and one shutout.
