Buffalo Sabres fans have donated upwards of $7,000 to the SPCA Serving Erie County in memory of goaltender Linus Ullmark's late father, Jan-Olof Ullmark, who passed away on Jan. 18.
Ullmark thanked fans in an Instagram post earlier this week.
"Thank you to the Sabres fans and members of the Buffalo community who donated to the SPCA in honor of my father," he wrote. "He would be proud of the way you've chosen to honor him, and I am too. I find strength in knowing the support I have behind me in this community, and I am thankful for it."
