Linus Ullmark injured in Bruins’ 4-3 OT loss in Arizona
The Bruins lost another hockey game in Arizona on Tuesday, but they may have lost a whole lot more than that.
At 2:40 of overtime, Linus Ullmark extended his glove arm high and immediately dropped to his belly in pain. He would need help to get off the ice and in came a cold Jeremy Swayman.
The B’s had their chances to win it, but with 56 seconds left in OT, Nick Schmaltz beat Swayman to the far post to lift the Arizona Coyotes to a 4-3 OT win at Mullett Arena.
Coach Jim Montgomery told reporters in Arizona that it’s a lower body injury it’s a lower body injury but didn’t have anything else. With the way Ullmark went off the ice, it’s good bet he’ll miss at least some time. The B’s just hope it’s not too long. They’re are still leadng the Atlantic Division primarily because of the Ullmark-Swayman tandem. Brandon Bussi presumably would be the first goalie up from Providence.
“He’s a fighter so hopefully we’ll have him back here shortly,” said Hampus Lindholm told reporters in Arizona.
The bodies are dropping on this road trip. Brandon Carlo got injured in Colorado on Monday (day-to-day wiht an upper body injury, according to Montgomery) and early in the third period, rookie Matt Poitras appeared to hurt his shoulder/arm while delivering a check. Montgomery didn’t have any update on him either.
It was not a good night at the rink for the B’s in which Ullmark wasn’t the only player lost to injury.
The B’s lost two one-goal leads to go into the third period tied 2-2 and then saw the Coyotes take their first lead of the game 52 seconds into the third on an unforced error. With Lawson Crouse bearing down on him at the left point of the Arizona zone, Mason Lohrei tried to make a difficult move to his right and tripped himself. That gave Crouse a clean breakaway that Ullmark stopped, but Matias Maccelli followed it up for the go-ahead goal.
The B’s then lost rookie Matt Poitras to an apparent shoulder injury when he got hurt checking a Coyote on a forecheck and he went very slowly to the bench and eventually the room.
But the B’s tied it up at 5:04 on a power play after Crouse was caught playing the puck with a broken stick. From the right circle, Jake DeBrusk snapped it past goalie Connor Ingram’s glove, DeBrusk’s ninth of the year.
Charlie Coyle thought he had the go-ahead goal with about 2:30 left in regulation, but Ingram somehow got his pad on Coyle’s second chance try. The puck traveled along the goal line, off the post and out.
“That’s a heck of a save,” said Coyle.
Ingram then stoned David Pastrnak on a clean breakaway seconds into overtime and Pastrnak later hit the post with on another breakaway before Schmaltz won it.
“I’m definitely feeling a little guilty there with two breakaways to end the game for our team. Definitely that will haunt me tonight when I sleep,” said Pastrnak. “And obviously it’s hard for a goaltender to sit on the bench for three hours and then come in with an unfortunate injury.”
This seemed like a very winnable game at the outset.
Without Carlo, the B’s didn’t waste much time in testing their penalty kill without their best PK defenseman. Trent Frederic absorbed an elbow from Travis Dermott that the refs missed, but caught Frederic reaching out to grab Dermott.
They were able to kill that and were quickly given their first power play when Matt Dumba hooked Lohrei.
The B’s made them pay. Pastrnak was taking some heat back home for his cheeky shootout attempt, an attempt at a surprise shot that looked to some like a low effort. But Pastrnak didn’t miss his spot at 4:41. After Morgan Geekie’s backdoor shot was blocked, the puck came out to Pastrnak in the left circle and he beat Ingram with a pure short side snipe, his 25th goal of the year. That put him into a tie for 10th place on the club’s all-time scoring list with 674 points.
From there, the B’s went on cruise control and were lucky to preserve that slim lead going into the first break. They continually coughed up the puck in their own zone and were outshot 12-6 by the Coyotes in the first, but Ullmark kept Arizona off the board.
The Frederic-Dermott contretempts continued early in the second period. But when Frederic was locked up with Dermott, Liam O’Brien jumped in and handed Frederic a handful of rights before flipping him down. O’Brien got the extra two for roughing – he escaped the extra 10 that would have come with an insitgator penalty — but the B’s did nothing with the power play.
The Coyotes, however, got on the board after Matt Grzelcyk was called for tripping. Clayton Keller simply made a hard rush to the net and eventually scored on his own rebound at 8:12.
But just 50 seconds later, Jesper Boqvist scored his first goal as a Bruin – and he made it a beauty. He collected a loose puck in his own zone, turned on the burners up the right wing, cut to the middle of the ice and finally beat Ingram with a wrist shot frorm the high slot.
The B’s, however, could not create any space between themselves and their hosts.
“Arizona’s a good team, they’re well coached, they play with great pace and they’re really good at home…It’s a tough environment,” said Montgomery. “That being said, we didn’t start on time. That’s what we needed to do. We needed better focus. Be sharper, move puck norths, we didn’t have the puck support we needed and we didn’t move pucks quickly enough.”
The Coyotes tied it again with 3:30 left in the second. Frederic tried to clear it deep into the Arizona for a change, but it was stopped by the defenseman back at the top of the circle. With the B’s changing out, the Coyotes went on the attack and gained the offensive zone with ease and numbers before Dylan Guenther beat Ullmark with a wrister from the high slot.
That set up an eventful thiird period and overtime. I bit too eventful for the Bruins’ liking.
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The two Republicans running for Arizona attorney general faced each other Thursday in a debate that devolved into insults and name-calling.
State Senate President Warren Petersen is running against military attorney Rodney Glassman in the Republican primary. The debate turned chaotic as the candidates clashed.
“Are you asking the questions, Steve?” Petersen said.
The moderator attempted to regain control. “Gentlemen, we’re going to reset,” he said.
Candidates clash over experience
The debate was the last before early voting begins next month. In between the name-calling, the two candidates argued over their resumes.
Glassman said Petersen does not have the legal experience for the job.
“Warren is just full of information, you can call them lies. He received his law license in December 2023, 28 months ago. He has never filed a lawsuit as a lawyer. He has never prosecuted a criminal as a lawyer,” Glassman said.
Petersen has had a law license for less than three years. He said he worked on cases in Scottsdale while earning his degree. Petersen said his experience as the current state Senate president also counts.
“I have done more in three years than Rodney Glassman will even get done in his life because he’s a trust fund baby who’s just looking for a place. He’s been running for 15 years and he’s lost six elections in a row,” Petersen said.
History of campaigns
Glassman has not won an elected office since he served as a Democrat on the Tucson City Council in 2007. Glassman is an Air Force attorney with 17 years of experience.
Democratic strategist Matt Grodsky said the real winner was the incumbent, Kris Mayes.
“I thought it was entertaining television. I’m glad Arizona got to see up close why these two individuals should be nowhere near the AG’s office,” Grodsky said.
Voting in the primary begins June 24.

The Arizona man known as the “QAnon Shaman” said Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s new Anti-Weaponization Fund is an abuse of power by a would-be “king.”
Jacob Angeli-Chansley – the face of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot with his red, white and blue face paint and horned fur headdress – denounced the $1.776 billion program as a “slush fund” for Trump to reward his loyalists.
The Justice Department announced the fund on Monday as part of a settlement with Trump, who had sued the IRS for $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns. The settlement included an assurance that the IRS will drop all audits and claims for back taxes against Trump, his family and businesses.
“You think I’m gonna take a f—ing dime from Trump and the government after he’s using this thing to cover him and his family in perpetuity for all of their crimes?” he told Cronkite News by phone. “You think I’m gonna take a dime of that blood money?”
Trump pardoned more than 1,500 people who participated in the Jan. 6 riot the day he returned to the White House in January 2025. Many had been convicted of assaulting police officers.
Cronkite News reached out to 17 of those defendants with Arizona ties. None besides Angeli-Chansley responded.
Thirteen were convicted or pleaded guilty to crimes related to the attack. Four of the cases were dismissed after the pardon. The charges included assault on federal agents, physical violence at the Capitol and seditious conspiracy.
See our previous coverage of the Anti-Weaponization Fund and “QAnon Shaman” in the video player above.
Angeli-Chansley pleaded guilty to a charge of obstruction of an official proceeding. He served 27 months of a 41-month sentence. He was released from federal prison in March 2023.
During the riot, he carried an American flag fastened to a spear and used a bullhorn to call other rioters to the dais in the Senate chamber.
“He stated that ‘Mike Pence is a f—-ing traitor’ and wrote a note on available paper on the dais, stating, ‘It’s Only A Matter of Time. Justice Is Coming,’” according to prosecutors.
At a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing Tuesday, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the compensation fund, saying it will be open to anyone victimized by a politically motivated prosecution, not just Jan. 6 defendants.
“It’s not limited to Republicans. … It’s not limited to the Biden weaponization. It’s not limited to, in any way scope or form, January 6 or to (targets of special counsel) Jack Smith. There’s no limitation on the claims,” Blanche said.
He rejected Democrats’ assertions that the fund is a massive, taxpayer-funded attempt by Trump to whitewash the assault on democracy.
“I think it’s telling that everybody on the left and … the liberal side of the media immediately says it’s a slush fund for President Trump’s friends,” Blanche said. “If anything else, that’s an outright admission that they know that the people that really had this Department of Justice weaponized against them were President Trump and his friends. But … that is not what the AG order that I signed yesterday says.”
Blanche, who served as Trump’s private attorney in several cases – prosecutions over election interference and classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago and allegations of hush money paid to an adult actress ahead of the 2016 election – faced strong criticism from Senate Democrats.
“You are acting today like the president’s personal attorney and that’s the whole problem,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who also noted that a huge banner with Trump’s portrait was draped over the front of the Department of Justice building in February.
At a homeland security committee meeting Tuesday, Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego called for legislation barring establishment of a fund of the sort proposed by the Trump administration.
He called it outrageous to provide compensation to “traitors who attacked the Capitol.”
“No president, Republican or Democrat, should be able to use the federal treasury as a personal checkbook,” he said.
Angeli-Chansley now refers to himself as the “American Shaman.” He was heavily involved in the QAnon movement, which centered on a conspiracy theory that Trump was fighting a cabal of Satan worshippers who engage in child sex trafficking.
He was a strong MAGA supporter when the pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol, interrupting congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
Angeli-Chansley has since become disenchanted with Trump. He has also repudiated the QAnon movement.
In a rambling phone conversation with Cronkite News, he repeatedly cited Trump’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting federal trial for trafficking young women and girls for sex.
He reiterated his anger with Trump for resisting the release of the Epstein files.
And he criticized Trump for attacking Iran and supporting Israel, among other things.
Angeli-Chansley sued Trump for $40 trillion in September 2025, asserting he is the true leader of the free world and vowing to use the sum to wipe out the national debt. The lawsuit was dismissed. He later filed a lawsuit against the CIA, FBI, World Bank and others in Maricopa County.
He urged fellow Jan. 6ers to “reject that … money.”
If courts allow the fund to operate, Angeli-Chansley said, it would mean that Trump “can do whatever it is that he wants.”
Teacher unions call for board member’s resignation after ‘Nazi salute’
Teacher unions call for District Boardmember Kimberly Fisher’s resignation after she made a “Nazi salute” during a public meeting on May 26, 2026.
Provided by Deer Valley Unified School District
School teacher unions are calling for the resignation of a Deer Valley Unified School District board member after she made a “Nazi salute” and said “heil’ at the end of a public meeting on May 26.
Boardmember Kimberly Fisher stretched out her arm, making the salute motion and repeating the word “heil” twice after the board president called for a vote to adjourn the meeting.
Fisher defended her actions in a Facebook video after the meeting, stating she made the gesture because she felt that the board had been under a “dictatorship” led by Board President Paul Carver and the district’s superintendent.
“All I could think of tonight was Hitler, so that’s why I said heil or whatever,” Fisher said in an eight-minute-long video.
Prior to the motion, Fisher and the board members were speaking on scheduling future meetings to discuss changes to district boundaries. Superintendent Curtis Finch stated they could not discuss the topic because it was on the meeting’s agenda. Then Carver quickly called for a vote to end the meeting, which prompted Fisher to make the salute.
The board members did not immediately react or acknowledge Fisher’s salute at the May 26 meeting.
This was not the first time Fisher has recently come under scrutiny. In October, she was slammed with a violation of Open Meeting Law by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, The Daily Independent reported.
Fisher could not be immediately reached for comment.
How the community is reacting to Fisher’s Nazi salute
The local chapter of the Anti-Defamation League, an organization focused on advocating against antisemitism and hate, denounced Fisher’s use of the salute.
“We unequivocally condemn this behavior that glorifies Nazis and Hitler. Regardless of intent, these actions instill fear in the community and are unbecoming of officials entrusted with educating children,” said Sarah Kader, the deputy regional director of ADL Desert, in a social media post.
The Arizona Education Association and the Deer Valley Education Association are calling for Fisher’s resignation.
“Kimberly Fisher should apologize to the DVUSD community and step down,” the state union group wrote on X.
The local teacher union wrote in a Facebook statement that they were “horrified and disgusted” to see Fisher’s actions.
“Any leader who uses a Nazi salute during a School Board meeting is unfit for public service. There is no justification for this behavior,” the union wrote.
Boardmember Stephanie Simacek, in a statement, said “this is what antisemitism looks like when people get comfortable” and called for an “immediate censure.”
“I am calling for accountability. And I am calling on every parent, educator, and elected official Republican or Democrat — to stand up and say clearly: THIS HAS NO PLACE HERE,” she wrote in the statement.
Simacek is also a house member in the Arizona State Legislature and is running for a state senate seat.
She wrote, “What happened in that room was not a joke.”
The school district “does not condone, support, or endorse gestures or language associated with hate, discrimination, intimidation, or violence in any form,” said Kayla Pologa, a spokesperson for Deer Valley, in a written statement.
“As an elected official, Mrs. Fisher speaks and acts independently,” Pologa wrote.
She said Fisher’s views don’t reflect nor should be attributed to other board members or members of the school district.
Who is Kimberly Fisher?
Fisher has been a Deer Valley School District parent for 24 years, according to her biography on the district’s website. She had two children graduate from the district and her third is being homeschooled in his final year, her biography states.
She had previously served on the board from 2015 to 2018.
In 2017, Fisher was the school board president and was criticized for a social media exchange with a teacher.
She was reelected in 2020. Fisher’s current term ends in 2028.
