Ottawa Senators News

Sogaard is in the starter's crease at the Senators' morning skate.

Sogaard will likely make his first start of the season for a Senators club struggling immensely and is without goaltender Anton Forsberg. Sogaard has had a stellar campaign with the Belleville Senators of the AHL, posting a 2.48 GAA and .920 SV% in 16 games (8-5-2). The 23-year-old Sogaard spent a sizeable portion of the 2022-23 season in Ottawa but struggled to make an impact, posting a 3.32 GAA and .889 SV% in 19 appearances (8-6-3). The Senators, losers of 12 of their last 16 (4-12-0), are +104 home underdogs against a high-scoring Colorado Avalanche club that was defeated 4-3 by the Montreal Canadiens last night.

Ullmark (lower body) left Tuesday's contest late and is being evaluated on Wednesday.

Ullmark was unable to finish Tuesday's game against the Arizona Coyotes, allowing three goals on 35 shots (.914 SV%) before leaving in overtime with a lower-body injury in an eventual 4-3 loss. Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman have almost exclusively split starting time this season, but if Ullmark is out of the lineup for any time, Swayman will take the reigns between the pipes.

Ullmark will start in Arizona on Tuesday.

Ullmark will be back between the pipes for the Bruins on Tuesday after Jeremy Swayman got the nod in last night's shootout loss to the Avalanche. Ullmark picked up his third consecutive win in his last time out, allowing three goals on 26 shots as the Bruins defeated the Lightning by a score of 7-3. He owns an impressive 13-5-2 record on the season along with a .915 SV% and a 2.74 GAA. The Bruins find themselves as -165 favourites in Arizona on Tuesday despite being on the tail-end of a back-to-back..

Zack MacEwen (illness) and Jacob Bernard-Docker (healthy scratch) are both expected to be out of the lineup on Thursday, allowing Angus Crookshank and Smejkal to draw back into the lineup. Smejkal has spent most of the season with the Belleville Senators of the AHL, scoring nine points (3G / 6A) in nine games.

Jiri Smejkal
MacEwen (illness) will be out Thursday vs. Seattle.

MacEwen played the last two games for the Senators, making his impact felt, scoring one goal, firing two shots on goal, registering five hits, and 12 penalty minutes. He will be out of the lineup due to an illness on Thursday as Angus Crookshank and Jiri Smejkal are both expected to draw back in.

The Bruins' starting goalie carousel continue Tuesday as Linus Ullmark will take the crease vs. Boston after backing up Jeremy Swayman in Boston's previous victory. The 30-year-old is the NHL's reigning Vezina Trophy winner but has come down to earth in 2023-24, with his 11-5-2 record, 2.82 GAA and .916 SV%. He will head to Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets, who have lost four of their last five games and are 16th in the NHL in goals per game (3.13).
