"Never let them know your next move": NHL fans in splits as Senators swap goalies Ullmark & Forsberg four times in one shift

During Sunday's matchup between the Ottawa Senators and the Colorado Avalanche, fans witnessed a hilarious goalie swap situation.

It all started with Sens netminder Anton Forsberg, who had a skate-blade issue and had to leave the ice. Linus Ullmark came in for just 17 seconds and made a solid save.

Then, Forsberg returned for a brief 1 minute and 28 seconds before needing to leave again, sending Ullmark back in. In total, the Ottawa Senators swapped their goalies four times in one shift due to Forsberg's skate-blade issue.

It was a wild and funny series of swaps that had NHL fans laughing as they shared their reactions on X/Twitter. One tweeted:

"Never let them know your next move."

Another chimed in:

"Luongo missing the beginning of OT against the Ducks in 2007 comes to mind."

Here are some of the other top reactions on X:

"They need to change on the fly…then I will be impressed," one humorousdy commented."

"Playing in Denver, air is thin, gotta keep the shifts short," another expressed the humor.

"Revolving doors, I dont get it," one X user wrote.

"Lots of skate blade issues recently, leafs game last night there was one," another said.

Linus Ullmark made two saves, while Forsberg ended the night with 30 saves in the Sens' 5-4 loss to the Avalanche.
