Ullmark hits bench celly line after scoring goalie goal

If you score a goal, you have to hit the celly line, even if you're in full goalie gear.

Boston Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark became the 13th goalie in NHL history to score a goal on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. And, thought it took some urging, he then skated to the bench for a full row of glove bumps.
After the score, teammates predictably mobbed Ullmark.
"Someone in the pile that told me, 'You have to go to the bench, you have to go to the bench,'" Ullmark said. "So I appreciate that gesture from them."

Is it the first time ever a goalie has gone to the bench to celebrate? Perhaps. Pekka Rinne scored during the 2020 season and was pinned against the back boards by teammates, so he didn't get there.
The visual of a goalie glove hitting all the skater's gloves while moving down the bench is one that won't be forgotten anytime soon.
"That's pretty cool. The guys that have scored a goal in this league are terrific goaltenders," Ullmark said. "It's hard to describe what I'm feeling right now. I have to kind of digest it all. I'm just so bloody happy."
