For three seasons, Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark established themselves as arguably the best goalie tandem in the NHL. Beyond that, they forged a close friendship — with their on-ice embraces punctuating every Bruins victory as “Dirty Water” bellowed out of the TD Garden speakers.

All fans will need to watch this one, as Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark will face off against each other for the first time since GM Don Sweeney broke up the elite tandem this off-season. Swayman and Ullmark developed a great friendship during their days sharing the net in Boston.
