Artem Zub will miss at least a week after it was announced Friday that he sustained an upper-body injury. It is a big loss for the Senators as Zub was playing 21:59 ATOI and was +2 with three points (1G/2A) in his first seven games prior to the injury.
Cousins will be the odd man out after it was announced Thursday that Eric Staal would be making his Panthers debut. In seven games so far, he has yet to collect a point and is -1 with only five SOG.
Ullmark will get the nod for the third straight game after leading the Bruins to victory his last time out with his weakest effort of the year in a 24 save (.889 SVS%) 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild. It seems as if Ullmark has taken the starting job between the Bruins' pipes for the time being after starting the season undefeated (4-0-0) while posting an impressive .929 SV% and 2.23 GAA. He receives the tough task of taking on the 4-1-1 Dallas Stars who are coming off their first regulation loss Monday after dropping their game 4-2 to Ottawa.

Ullmark will start Thursday after stopping five of six shots in relief of Jeremy Swayman in the Bruins' 7-5 loss to Ottawa Tuesday. The starter has been sensational this season going 2-0-0 with a .927 SV% and a 2.59 GAA in both of his dominant performances so far. The Bruins host the Anaheim Ducks who have allowed four or more goals in all four of their games on the way to a 1-3-0 record.
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.
Ullmark will get the nod for Boston as they head to Washington for their season opener Wednesday night.

Coach Jim Montgomery has announced that Boston will likely rotate Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman for the first four games of the season.

Blais opened training camp on a line with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider but has since dropped down the depth chart and is now banged up. Blais shouldn't carry any fantasy value heading into the 2022-23 season. If he misses the Rangers' season opener, expect Vitaly Kravtsov to get into the lineup.
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.
