Linus Ullmark News

The Senators have been one of the NHL's hottest teams over the past few weeks, largely thanks to Ullmark's improved play. Since returning from a prolonged personal leave of absence in late January, the 32-year-old Swedish goalie has just one regulation loss in 10 games (7-1-2), posting a serviceable 2.40 GAA and .897 SV%. The Senators enter Wednesday's contest as -125 road favourites against a Washington Capitals team that has struggled offensively, scoring two or fewer goals in six of their last seven games (2-4-1).

Ullmark has battled some adversity in recent games, allowing four or more goals twice in his last three, but has salvaged a 2-0-1 record despite posting a subpar 3.29 GAA and .872 SV%. That said, the 32-year-old Swedish goalie has played reasonably well since returning from a multi-week personal leave of absence in late January, posting a 2.41 GAA and .896 SV% in seven games (5-0-2). The Senators enter Wednesday's contest as -190 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team with points in three straight games (2-0-1).

Ullmark struggled in his previous game, allowing five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%) in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers, and hopes to redeem himself on Thursday against the Calgary Flames. Despite his blip against Edmonton, the 32-year-old Ullmark has played well since returning from a multi-week leave of absence, posting a 2.37 GAA and .902 SV% in five games (3-0-2). The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -163 road favourites against a Flames team coming off a 6-1 loss to the Dallas Stars.

Ullmark was solid in Ottawa's previous game, saving 21 of 23 shots (.913 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs and will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 32-year-old Swedish goalie has played well since returning from a multi-week personal leave of absence, posting an impressive 1.74 GAA and .919 SV% in four games (3-0-1). The Senators enter Tuesday's contest as slight -102 road underdogs against an Oilers team that has lost five of their last six games (1-5-0).

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%. Ottawa needs a strong finish to the season to return to the playoffs, beginning by entering Thursday's game as -151 home favourites against a Red Wings team that defeated them 4-3 in their previous meeting.

Linus Ullmark is battling an illness and will not play in Ottawa's final game before the Olympic break, but should resume his role as the starting goalie when play resumes in late February. Ottawa recalled Hunter Shepard from Belleville (AHL) to serve as James Reimer's backup on Thursday.

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 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.

The Senators signed goalie James Reimer earlier this week to add some depth in the crease during Ullmark's absence.

Ullmark allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Senators' overtime loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Ullmark, who has gone 5-2-1 with a. 2.26 GAA and .908 SV% in eight starts in December. Tonight he gets the start in Toronto, where the Senators are -129 road favourites.
