Ostman attended their prospect camp last summer. Maybe not the season Ostman wanted in college, he lost the starting gig to fellow Swede Albin Boija. Ostman went 5+ weeks without a start down the stretch and then had to start their tournament game when Boija got sick.

Seattle's a good landing spot for a young goalie. Both AHL spots (Driedger/Stezka) will probably get cleared after the season and we'll see if they roll with Ostman and 2022 pick Niklas Kokko.

Was there an injury/illness that kept him out of the lineup with the Black Bears? Was wondering if he'd still be signed.

Not that I'm aware of. I was keeping track of Ostman for nerdy fantasy hockey purposes and it just looked like he got outplayed by Boija in the second half and the coaching staff decided to go with the hotter goalie.
