Ullmark (lower-body) will start vs. Colorado on Thursday.

Ullmark has not played since suffering a lower-body injury on October 21st, with Samuel Ersson helping the Senators stay afloat during his absence.

The 33-year-old Ullmark has a dazzling 1.33 GAA and .945 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). The Senators enter Thursday's game as slight -106 home favourites against a Colorado Avalanche team that has outscored opponents 10-3 in its past two games (2-0-0).

Ullmark left Wednesday's game with a lower-body "strain" and will be evaluated on Thursday.

Ullmark had to be helped off the ice during Wednesday's win over the Panthers after tweaking something while making a save on Brady Tkachuk shot. Post-game, head coach Travis Green said that Ullmark has a lower-body strain and will be assessed on Thursday. It sounds like the Senators may have avoided the worst-case scenario, but expect them to recall a backup for Samuel Ersson for Thursday's game.

Ullmark will start Wednesday vs. the Panthers.

Ullmark has been excellent this season, but is coming off his first loss despite another strong outing, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Ullmark will start vs. the Islanders on Thursday.

Samuel Ersson had a poor showing in Ottawa's previous game, his second start of the season, and will return to his familiar role as understudy to Linus Ullmark, who has started the 2026-27 season tremendously. Ullmark is coming off a poor 2025-26 season, posting a 2.73 GAA and a career-worst .891 SV% in 49 games (28-12-8).

The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -157 home favourites against a 3-3-0 New York Islanders team.
