Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark his having himself a career year amidst the rest of his team running away with the best record in the National Hockey League. In fact, Ullmark has helped the Bruins establish the new record for most wins by a team in a single regular season campaign with 63. 

As of right now, Ullmark boasts a sparkling record of 40-6-1 with a 1.89 goals against average, .938 save percentage along with two shutouts. Oh, and there was also the matter of his having become the first goalie in the near century-long history of the Bruins to score a goal.

Ullmark almost assuredly will be a finalist for the Vezina Trophy as the League's top goaltender. And his campaign has certainly caught the attention of a former Bruins goaltender who picked up some hardware of his own. Andrew Raycroft, who won the Calder Trophy in 2004 as the NHL's best rookie, believes that the season Ullmark is enjoying will never be repeated. 

“Linus Ullmark winning 40 games in 48 starts will never be matched again," Raycroft wrote on Twitter following Boston's 5-2 win last night over the Washington Capitals. "Nuts."
