The injury bug continues to bite the Boston Bruins.
Goaltender Linus Ullmark exited Thursday's game against the Ottawa Senators and was replaced by Jeremy Swayman in the second period. The team has yet to explain Ullmark's departure, but it appears he was removed from the game after taking a slapshot off his facemask.
