Age: 22
Contract: A 2012 sixth-round draft pick, Ullmark inked a 3-year, entry-level contract in May 2014.
Introduction: Ullmark was not supposed to be the high flyer that he turned out to be this year for Buffalo. He was supposed to spend a quiet season in Rochester, developing his game and growing into the next elite Buffalo goaltender. Robin Lehner’s glass ankles had other plans.
Key Stat: 8-10-2 record with 2.60GAA and a .913SV% in 20 appearances in Buffalo.
Thumbs Up: Ullmark wasted no time in demonstrating that he was up to the task of playing in the NHL.
