Tonight’s over/under could arguably be considered the main event in all of professional sports — well, at least if you’re a Boston Bruins fan.
That’s because it will involve a showdown between former teammates who happen to share the distinction of being one of the NHL’s top goalie duos in recent history. They also created one of the best signature tandem celebrations, too.
Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark made magic while they were goaltenders “1A” and “1B” in Boston — even helping the organization set a league record for most points by one team in a single season — and this final matchup of the campaign between the Bruins and Senators will see them meet for a second time.
The first meeting that saw the pair of netminders lock horns occurred back on Nov. 9, a 3-2 road victory for Ottawa that also produced a triumph for those who bet the under. The other two matchups featuring these old Northeast Division rivals only had either one or neither of Swayman and Ullmark.
