The Buffalo Sabres announced this morning they’ve called up goaltender Linus Ullmark from the Rochester Amerks. This is the big Swede’s first call-up of the season. He was a sixth-round pick of the Sabres in 2012 NHL draft and has appeared in 21 NHL games with the club.
Ullmark is off to a great start with the Amerks this season. He’s 9-3-0 with a 2.68 goals against average and a .919 save percentage.
With the Sabres having a home and home series this weekend with the Pittsburgh Penguins, you have to wonder if they expect him to start one of the two games.
