New York. Last night Linus Ollmark was keen to cement his position as possibly the best goaltender in the NHL.
He stopped 30 shots and led Boston to a 3-1 heavyweight win away from Vegas.
In total, the 29-year-old Angerman won 16 matches — and lost one.
– I’ve had a great flow, but my teammates are doing a great job in front of me all the time. Then my job will be much easier, Linus tells Sportbladet.
It’s the story of goal above all else in the NHL this fall:
Linus Allmark’s success with the Boston Bruins.
He did well last year too, but this 29-year-old has leaped seven miles ahead and filled his predecessor’s old Tuukka Rask suit a lot more.
Tops all lists
In fact, two months into the regular season, he’s leading in all goalkeeping categories: has the most wins (16 — out of 17 games…), best save percentage (. 941) and lowest goals-against average (1.77). ).
It is incomparable.
– Yes, I can’t deny that it’s a good result, says Linus when we get to him in Las Vegas. –
– I’ve had a great flow, but my teammates are doing a great job in front of me all the time. Then my work becomes much easier. I mean, I don’t score goals, my teammates do and then it’s up to me to stop the pucks.
Humble after the game
Against the Golden Knights last night, he stopped 30 shots and helped the Bears win 3-1 in what would have been a rematch of this summer’s Stanley Cup Finals.
– Well, a bit unlucky, they scored their first shot of the game, but after that we made sure to stay close, he continued.
– We knew that they would come with difficulty in the opening, they are the best in the league in the first half, and apart from this goal, we stood well in the first 20 goals, then we equalized and took advantage of some of our chances.
With the win, the Bruins regained the lead in the NHL overall standings.
