The Bruins’ post-win routine followed a familiar script on Saturday evening at TD Garden.
As the final seconds ticked off the clock in Boston’s 5-1 win over the Penguins, Linus Ullmark (a season-high 38 saves) received each of his teammates for a fist bump, shoulder tap, etc. near the Bruins’ net.
The last in line, as always, was his fellow netminder in Jeremy Swayman. Their post-win hugs have become a familiar sight over the last few seasons, but Saturday’s held a bit more significance.
As Swayman skated toward Ullmark, he definitively pointed to the frozen sheet — perhaps signaling Ullmark’s entrenched status on Boston’s roster — before embracing for over 10 seconds.
