Bruins’ goalie Ullmark on OT mistake: ‘All about having a poor memory

Linus Ullmark had a turnover in the overtime that allowed the Florida Panthers to score in the OT and beat Boston Bruins in Game 5.

Boston’s goalie assisted the opposition forward, Carter Verhaeghe, who shot. Matthew Tkachuk secured the puck after the rebound to notch the winning goal and secure Game 6 for his team at home in Florida.

“I tried to send it out into the corner and avoid him,” the goaltender said of the mistake. “He makes a good play and snaps it; the remainder is passed.”

“You just attempt to return to the net, and then he fires it in. So I try not to put myself in a place where it can hurt me,” Linus added.

“Sadly, it hits my skate, and it edges up in the opposition. From there, it’s a case where I couldn’t return to the net in time. He just scores.”
