Report: Linus Ullmark, Sabres almost $2 million apart entering arbitration hearing

‘Ullmark, who counted $750,000 against the salary cap in 2018-19, played a career-high 37 games with the Sabres last season, when he finished with a .905 save percentage and 3.31 goals-against average. He spent most of the season as Hutton’s backup, though he emerged as the possible starter following the All-Star break. Hutton, who signed a three-year, $8.75 million contract with the team last July, played a career-high 50 games with the Sabres in 2018-19.’
