Ullmark had to be helped off the ice by teammates Kevin Shattenkirk and Jake DeBrusk. Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery confirmed a lower-body injury but didn't know the extent of the issue, according to NESN's Gayle Troiani.
Jeremy Swayman allowed the first shot he faced in relief as the Coyotes won 4-3.

"It's really difficult. You've been sitting there for two and a half hours and now you gotta go in," Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery said postgame on NESN. "It doesn't matter who was in net, that's a post-and-in shot from inside the house, so that's a tough one to save."
Ullmark had made 32 saves on 35 shots before being hurt.
The reigning Vezina Trophy winner has played 21 games this season and sports a .916 save percentage.
Bruins rookie Matt Poitras was also injured in the loss. He exited the game with an upper-body issue after a collision with Coyotes defenseman Sean Durzi in the third period.
