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.
The Flyers moved Owen Tippett (upper-body) to IR to open up a roster spot for Lycksell. The 2017 sixth-round pick had 34 points (14G / 20A) in 47 games with Vaxjo HC (SHL) last season.
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 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
