""Well, what can I say? I love Charlie," Ullmark said postgame. "I think he's a heck of a goaltender. Obviously he's very fired up, ever since I think it was the second goal that was allowed as well. So he shows a lot of emotions.""
""So when he goes in there and sticks up for his guys, I could have stood waiting as well. But as soon as it kind of kept going, it's not really about the actual fight. It's more about showing up for the guys and showing your presence. It's not like I'm looking for it. I don't want to instigate or anything like that in my game or anything. It's just what the situation was devolving to.""
Charlie Lindgren left his net to join a scrum late in the second period, prompting Linus Ullmark to streak down past center ice and drop his blocker to confront him. Officials intervened and prevented the two goaltenders from fully fighting. Ullmark praised Lindgren for standing up for teammates and explained that his involvement was about showing presence, not instigating. Neither Ullmark nor Lindgren have recorded NHL fights, though Ullmark previously attempted a fight in the 2023 playoffs. Lindgren's frustration followed a stretch of three goals allowed in just over three minutes, putting his team in a 4-0 deficit.
