The former goalie of the year in Sweden has been playing pretty well in North America.

Linus Ullmark will get another start tonight when his Buffalo Sabres host Tampa Bay.

Ullmark is 2-1-0 with a .930 save percentage since being called up from AHL Rochester. He stopped 29 of 30 shots Sunday in a 2-1 victory over the Islanders.

“It’s amazing what a couple of big saves can do,” Sabres forward Sam Reinhart said of Ullmark. “It can turn two losses into two wins just like that. He’s been great.”

On Friday, Ullmark stopped 27 of 28 shots in a 3-1 victory over Philadelphia.

Andrei Vasilevskiy will start for the Lightning.
