Following their 5-1 Game 1 loss to the Hurricanes, Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy didn’t say if goalie Linus Ullmark, who started Game 1, would start Game 2. Cassidy said he would have a decision made by Tuesday.
Even though Ullmark didn’t immediately get a seal of approval to start Game 2, Cassidy didn’t blame him for Boston’s Game 1 loss. In his first career playoff game, Ullmark saved 20 of 24 shot attempts, with the Hurricanes’ fifth goal coming on an empty net.
Ullmark and the Bruins were able to keep the Hurricanes off the board for most of the first two periods.
