He has five points (0G / 5A) in 19 games with the Iowa Wild (AHL). In a corresponding move, Minnesota assigned David Jiricek to the AHL.

Ullmark will start in San Jose on Wednesday.

Anton Forsberg was tending the twine for the Senators when they snapped their five-game losing skid on Monday, but the team will revert to Ullmark on Wednesday night against the San Jose Sharks. Ullmark's first season in Ottawa has been disappointing, posting an ugly 3.10 GAA and .881 SV% in 13 appearances (4-7-1). The 31-year-old Ullmark has lost four straight (0-3-1), allowing 17 combined goals, posting a .835 SV%. That said, the Senators enter Wednesday's contest as sizeable -204 road favorites against a Sharks club that will be without Mikael Granlund for a second straight game.
