Linus Ullmark was asked on Saturday afternoon what his immediate reaction was as soon as he dropped to the ice on Tuesday night against the Arizona Coyotes.
“I can’t say that — kids are watching,” Ullmark told reporters in St. Louis on Saturday. “PG version? ‘Shoot’. I recognized the pain from some stuff that I’ve done in the past. So I knew it was pretty severe at the time, but I didn’t know how severe it was.”
Based on the optics, it looked like Ullmark was going to be off the ice for an extended stretch.
