Ottawa Senators aquire starting goaltender from Boston

The Boston Bruins have traded goaltender Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for forward Mark Kastelic, goaltender Joonas Korpisalo and a 2024 first-round draft pick.

The Sens will retain 25 per cent of Korpisalo's salary in the deal. 

Ullmark, 30, is entering the final season of a four-year, $20 million contract signed with the Bruins in July of 2021.

The 6-foot-4 netminder went 22-10-7 this season with a .915 save percentage and 2.55 goals-against average. He appeared in two playoff games for the Bruins this season, going 0-1 with a .886 save percentage and 3.90 GAA before his team was eliminated in the second round by the Florida Panthers.

Ullmark won the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top netminder in 2022-23 after registering a 40-6-1 record with a .938 save percentage and 1.89 GAA.

Drafted 163rd overall by the Buffalo Sabres in 2012, Ullmark has a career 138-73-23 record with a .919 save percentage and 2.51 GAA split between the Sabres and Bruins.
