VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Linus Ullmark had always dreamed of scoring a goal and now that dream has become a reality. The Boston Bruins goalie scored the first goal of his career and first "goalie goal" in Boston Bruins History after he fired a shot into an empty net with 48 seconds remaining in a 3-1 win against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.
The Vezina Trophy front-runner stopped a rolling puck just below the faceoff circle, set up and wristed a shot toward the empty Vancouver net. The Swedish goaltender's shot landed between the Canucks faceoff circles and bounced in at 19:12 of the third period to give the Bruins a 3-1 lead.
"It's one of the dreams I always had that I wanted to score a goal," Ullmark said after the game.
