Senators' Linus Ullmark: Could play Thursday

Head coach Travis Green said Wednesday that Ullmark (strain) is progressing in his recovery and could play in Thursday's home game against the Devils, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Ullmark has been dealing with a muscle strain in recent days, but it's encouraging that he'll be in the mix to return to action Thursday. Even if he isn't able to suit up against the Devils, it doesn't appear as though he'll be sidelined for a significant period of time.
