Crazy how there's so many 4-3, 3-4, 4-4, 3-5 teams this year. SSS but so much parity around the NHL early. Not in Boston, though.

I know it has been said elsewhere, but Ullmark is playing like a prime Rask.... so calm and composed in net, rarely having to make the flashy save because his positioning is spot on.

I wanted a goalie who could start ~75% of the games to emerge. Still early, but it looks like Ullmark's the guy.

I’ll take a good tandem. The only puck to beat a Boston goalie in the last two games needed some pinball wizardry.

As far as the difference in Ullmark, maybe he had to let go of some instincts from Buffalo, which was a defensive tire fire for him, and just worry about the guy with the puck.

Really just an incredible start. Banking all these points not just huge for now while guys get healthy but also could pay dividends later to make sure they are all good to go heading Into the playoffs. And let’s them know exactly where things stand when it’s time to put all their chips on the table at the deadline.

9 to 1 goal differential in a back-to-back is impressive, no matter the opponents. This with some considerable roster shuffling going on tonight. Goodness.

The rest of this road trip should be a decent test. Keep up the good work.
