Goalie Start
Ullmark will start Monday vs. the Panthers.
Ullmark draws the daunting task of taking on the Florida Panthers in a battle of 2-0-0 Atlantic Division squads at home Monday. The eight-year veteran was lights out in his opening night victory over Washington, stopping 33 of 35 shots on way to a 5-2 Bruins win. He draws his second start of the season after splitting the opening two games with Jeremy Swayman.
Goalie Start
Anderson led the Sabres onto the ice for warmups.
The league's oldest player, 41-year-old netminder Craig Anderson takes the crease for the Sabres' opening home matchup against Ottawa. The 19-year veteran struggled in 2021-22, achieving his lowest SV% (.897) in nearly 16 seasons while collecting his 308th career win after a 31-start season.

Ullmark led the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.
Ullmark will get the nod for Boston as they head to Washington for their season opener Wednesday night. The 29-year-old posted career highs in wins (26), GAA (2.45) and SV% (.917) in 2021-22 before losing the starting spot with a weak playoff showing. Coach Jim Montgomery has announced that Boston will likely rotate Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman for the first four games of the season.

Ullmark was the first goalie off of the ice at the Bruins morning skate.
Linus Ullmark will get the nod for Boston as they head to Washington for their season opener Wednesday night. The 29-year-old posted career highs in wins (26), GAA (2.45) and SV% (.917) in 2021-22 before losing the starting spot with a weak playoff showing. Coach Jim Montgomery has announced that Boston will likely rotate Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman for the first four games of the season.
The Senators have signed Derick Brassard to a one-year contract.
Brassard was with the Senators on a PTO and signed a one-year deal on Monday. The 35-year-old had eight goals and 11 assists (19 points) in 46 games with the Flyers and Oilers last season.
The Senators have signed Tim Stützle to an 8-year extension worth $66.8 million ($8.35M AAV).
The Devils have re-signed Fabian Zetterlund to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Flyers have re-signed Zack MacEwen to a one-year contract.
The Senators have signed Jayce Hawryluk to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Panthers have signed Michael Del Zotto to a one-year contract.
The Senators have signed Tomas Hamara to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Hamara was selected in the third-round (No.87 overall) in this summer's NHL Draft and the Senators wasted no time signing him to an entry-level deal. Hamara had two assists in 24 games with Tappara Tampere (Liiga) in 2022.
The Senators have signed Antoine Bibeau to a one-year, two-way contract.
Bibeau split his 2022 season between the AHL and ECHL, going 4-1-2 with a 2.48 GAA and .905 SV% in 10 AHL appearances with the Charlotte Checkers. He'll likely be the No.4 goalie on the Senators' depth chart.
The Senators have signed Jacob Larsson to a one-year, two-way contract.
Larsson is a former first-round pick (No.27 overall in 2015) who has 165 career NHL games under his belt, all with the Anaheim Ducks. However, he spent almost all of 2021-22 in the AHL, where he had two goals and 13 assists (15 points) in 55 games. The Senators' blueline is very thin, so Larsson could see some NHL playing time in 2022-23.
The Senators have signed Kristians Rubins to a one-year, two-way contract.
Rubins spent the first four years of his career with the Maple Leafs but moves to their Ontario rival on a one-year deal with the Senators. He played in his first three career NHL games a season ago but will likely be an AHL player in 2022-23. He had 11 points (1G / 10A) in 58 games with the Toronto Marlies last year.
The Red Wings have signed David Perron to a two-year contract worth $9.5 million ($4.75M AAV).
The Senators have placed Michael Del Zotto on unconditional waivers for the purpose of buying out the final year of his contract.
The Sabres have signed Craig Anderson to a one-year, $1.5 million contract extension.
Anderson, who recently turned 41-years-old, went 17-12-2 with a 3.12 GAA and .897 SV% in 31 games with the Sabres in 2022. Signing a one-year deal gives the Sabres a reliable veteran netminder that can mentor Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the 2022-23 season.
