Ullmark has played a major role in Boston’s outstanding regular season form, and at the time of writing he boasts a 34-4-1 record as a starter – the best record in the NHL.

Ullmark is the -294 favorite at bookmaker Stake, with Connor Hellebuyck and Ilya Sorokin the only other players shorter than 10s at the time of writing.
Helleybuyck boasts a save percentage of .923 that has helped keep Winnipeg firmly in the hunt for the postseason, while he also ranks top five in goals saved above average (25.40) and goals against percentage (81).
Sorokin, meanwhile, possesses a slightly better save percentage of .924, and ranks slightly higher in goals saved above average and goals against percentage as the New York Islanders target the postseason.
He may have slightly better numbers than Hellebuyck, but it is the Jets goaltender who is the +520 second favorite at this time, with Sorokin just behind him at +540.
The top five is rounded out by +1000 Jake Oettinger of the Dallas Stars and +1600 Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers.
