Sabres sign Ullmark to 1-year, $1.33M deal

The Buffalo Sabres agreed to terms with goaltender Linus Ullmark on a one-year contract at a cap hit of $1.325 million, the club announced Saturday.

Ullmark split time with Carter Hutton in the Sabres' crease this past season, posting a .905 save percentage in 37 games.

The 26-year-old, who had a salary arbitration hearing Friday, was reportedly seeking an average annual value of $2.65 million, while the team was initially offering $800,000.

Ullmark has spent four campaigns in the Sabres organization. Buffalo drafted him in the sixth round of the 2012 draft.

The Sabres also inked defenseman Jake McCabe earlier Saturday, avoiding arbitration by signing him to a two-year, $5.7-million pact.
