Prospect Info: Linus Ullmark (2012, 163rd) – '15-16: Buffalo #35 (NHL)Recalled 4/9/16

[Woodhouse]

Ullmark's crossing the pond this year to play in Rochester, but has a ways to go in his rehab from off-season hip surgery. He's currently training with Ovik in Sweden. Further, here's the scouting blurb from Ullmark's EP bio to reboot his prospect info thread:

A conservative, yet athletic, reactionary-type goalie who plays in a positional style most closely linked to the modern battle-fly. Doesn't get rattled, doesn't take risks, and gets the job done in pressure situations. Possesses very good rebound control. (Curtis Joe, EP 2015)

I'm really excited to see how he does this year. Is there a time table for when he'll be back on the ice?

One of my favorite prospects so far, the injury/surgery sure is concerning though especially with him having to get accustomed to a new league, wouldn't be surprised if it's gonna be a rather rough transition for Ullmark.

The last I saw, it was being hypothesized that Ullmark may not play in Rochester until the New Year. I don't know if that's accurate or if the timetable has changed, but that's the last I read.

I'm pretty sure Murray gave him a 6-month timeline, so around Thanksgiving we should be hearing more, as Ullmark only hit the ice for the first time like three weeks ago.

Looks like Ullmark's among those in Buffalo already. Here's a snap of his gear:

Ullmark has been activated from injured reserve and loaned to Rochester per: http://sabresdigitalpressbox.com/2015/10/10/sabres-recall-nathan-lieuwen/

Well, that certainly is a pleasant twist:

Excellent! About time we get some good news regarding injured players.

 

[haseoke39]

Excellent! He's still an excellent contender for goalie of the future, imo.

 

[ForsakenSabre]

He healed really fast right? I thought i had read that he wouldn't be game ready until December possibly. Great news though

 

[couture23]

Wow thats amazing. Hope he runs away with the starting job. I know that would make everyone happen about our future at G.

Excited for his start tonight. Two years ago the kid was the best goalie in the SHL. Hopefully he can pick up his form in Rochester.

 

[Snargitz]

1 GA and 38 saves in a 2-1 win. Looks like a great start from him.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

How many more starts like that before Ullmark comes up?

Ullmark's mask is a beauty

The reporter in front...could not be more obtuse.

No wonder players get annoyed by the stupid questions.

I can't make out the top part of his mask. What is it?

I can't make out the top part of his mask. What is it?

Not a 100% sure but I thought I remember him talking about Minions on his mask during TC so maybe that?
