Jim Montgomery Makes A Statement Regarding Bruins goalies
The Boston Bruins are keenly aware of their dynamic goaltending duo, and head coach Jim Montgomery dropped hints about an approach reminiscent of the previous season.
Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman had a shared workload during the regular season, a strategy that resulted in their capturing the Williams J. Jennings Trophy. Ullmark's impressive 49-game performance also earned him the Vezina Trophy.
In the upcoming game against the Nashville Predators, Swayman takes the starting position, and Montgomery provided insights into their plan for managing the goalies' playing time.
When queried about the possibility of starting Ullmark in consecutive games, Montgomery clarified,
Following the game on Saturday, the Bruins enjoy a four-day hiatus before embarking on their first set of back-to-back games next week.
The primary concern surrounding this goaltending duo centers on their performance during the playoffs, given the questions that arose after the Bruins' early exit last season. Nonetheless, this concern hasn't appeared to alter their mindset as they begin this season.
Montgomery stated,
Ullmark and Swayman have ample motivation to prove their elite capabilities, dispelling any notions that they are merely regular-season contributors. Their journey of redemption and validation will unfold throughout the season.
