Ullmark will start vs. Detroit on Thursday.

Ullmark did not play in Ottawa's final game before the Olympic Break due to an illness, but he will suit up Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. Ullmark had only played two games since returning from a five-week personal leave, but played well, winning both games while posting a 1.50 GAA and .930 SV%.

Ullmark (illness) is out vs. Philadelphia on Thursday.

Ullmark will start in Pittsburgh on Monday.

Ullmark returned from a five-week absence due to personal reasons in Ottawa's previous game and was tremendous, saving 26 of 27 shots (.963 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. The 32-year-old Ullmark was having a rough season before his leave of absence, posting a 2.95 GAA and .881 SV% in 28 games (14-9-5). The team hopes he can build on Saturday's solid performance when he returns to the crease on Monday, entering the game as slight -104 road underdogs against a Pittsburgh Penguins team on a six-game winning streak.

Ullmark (personal) is still not ready to return to game action with Ottawa but is getting closer to starting.

Ullmark dressed for the first time in nearly a month, serving as Ottawa's backup goalie on Sunday in their 7-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. He is not ready to return to action yet, but given that Mads Sogaard was assigned to Belleville (AHL) earlier today, his return is likely imminent.

Ullmark has not played in over three weeks due to personal reasons, but appears to be nearing a return. The 32-year-old goalie has a 2.95 GAA and .881 SV% in 28 games this season (14-8-5), and it is unclear when he might be between the pipes again. Leevi Merilainen has almost exclusively seen all of the action in Ottawa's crease during Ullmark's absence.
