Although Ullmark entered the 2023–24 season as Boston's starting goaltender, Swayman's play saw him get an uptick in starts. As was established in the previous two seasons, however, the two still split relatively even starts, with Ullmark starting 39 games to Swayman's 43. Ullmark finished off the season on a strong note, recording a 1.90 GAA and .935 save percentage in his final nine games after the trade deadline. Faced with a goaltending dilemma, Montgomery started Swayman in the Bruins first game in the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and then Ullmark in Game 2. After Game 2, the rest of the starts of the series went to Swayman, and the Bruins would beat the Maple Leafs in seven games to advance to the second round. Although Swayman served as the team's starting goaltender for the second round matchup against the Panthers, Ullmark did come into relief for Swayman in Game 2. The Bruins were eventually eliminated in six games by the Panthers.{{cite web |url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/florida-panthers-eliminate-boston-bruins-to-advance-to-conference-final-1.2122522 |title=Panthers eliminate Bruins to advance to conference final |work=TSN |agency=The Canadian Press |date=17 May 2024 |access-date=3 July 2024}}

Ullmark was selected to play for Sweden's national team at the 2014 IIHF World Championship in Minsk, Belarus. He did not play in the tournament, as he was the team's third goaltender behind Anders Nilsson and Joacim Eriksson. He was awarded a bronze medal after Sweden defeated the Czech Republic 3–0 on 25 May 2014 to finish third in the tournament.{{cite web |url=https://stats.iihf.com/Hydra/387/IHM387163_74_3_0.pdf |title=Game Summary |publisher=International Ice Hockey Federation |date=25 May 2014 |access-date=18 March 2025}} He returned to the national team for the 2022 IIHF World Championship in Cologne, Germany.

Ullmark was named to Sweden's team for the 2025 debut of the 4 Nations Face-Off on 4 December 2024. Having just returned to the Senators' lineup due to a back injury, Ullmark was used as Filip Gustavsson's backup for the first two games of the tournament. However, Gustavsson left the second game with an illness and Ullmark entered the game, stopping 15 of 17 shots, as the team fell to Finland 4–3 in the game.{{cite web |url=https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/ottawa-senators/4-nations-face-off-linus-ullmark-and-team-sweden-are-now-heavy-long-shots |title=4 Nations Face-Off Clinching Scenarios: Linus Ullmark And Team Sweden Are Now Heavy Long Shots |work=The Hockey News |last=Warne |first=Steve |date=16 February 2025 |access-date=19 March 2025}} Facing elimination, Ullmark was expected to start the final game of the round-robin tournament against the United States, but due to an illness, was replaced with the team's third goaltender, Samuel Ersson.{{cite web |url=https://www.masslive.com/bruins/2025/02/former-bruins-star-will-miss-team-usa-game-with-illness.html |title=Former Bruins star will miss Team USA game with illness |work=MassLive |last=Vautour |first=Matt |date=17 February 2025 |access-date=19 March 2025}} The Swedes won the game, but failed to advance to the final after Canada beat Finland.{{cite web |url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/sweden-beats-shorthanded-u-s-in-last-4-nations-round-robin-game-but-fail-to-advance-to-final-1.2253875 |title=Sweden beats shorthanded U.S. in last 4 Nations round-robin game, but fail to advance to final |work=TSN |agency=The Canadian Press |date=17 February 2025 |access-date=19 March 2025}}
