Linus Ullmark, an All-Star goaltender, has been absent from the Bruins lineup for some weeks.

However, Ullmark, Matt Poitras, and Brandon Carlo were able to practice unrestricted on Wednesday and might play again against the Avalanche on Thursday.
Coach Jim Montgomery stated that while Derek Forbort also practiced, he would not play on Thursday.
With the visiting Avalanche sitting second in the Western Conference and having won eight of their previous ten games, it is opportune for the Bruins to have their studs back.Jeremy Swayman or Ullmark will start, but Montgomery has not said which one. Ullmark has been cleared to play.
Goalie Linus Ullmark of the Boston Bruins suffered a major loss on Tuesday against the Arizona Coyotes. At Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona, the incident happened at 2:40 in the extra period.
While trying to make a vital glove stop on Coyotes forward Logan Cooley’s wrist shot from the slot, Ullmark hurt his lower body. Ullmark tried to stop the puck, but it went past the crossbar, and he was forced to leave the game due to injury.Ullmark suffered the injury while attempting to save the shot, underscoring the physical strain that goalies frequently endure in their line of work.
Although the extent of Ullmark’s lower-body injury is yet unknown, the Bruins and their supporters were clearly concerned when they saw Ullmark being helped off the ice by two teammates.
