Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark have formed quite the friendship while with the Boston Bruins, but the goalies had to face each other Saturday.
Swayman and Ullmark are representing the United States and Sweden, respectively, in the 2022 IIHF World Championship. The US and Sweden squared off in the tournament, with Swayman and Ullmark starting between the pipes.
Prior to the game, the two goalies caught up with one another. Of course, there was a hug involved.
The United States won 3-2 in overtime thanks to Adam Gaudette's goal.
