Senators' Linus Ullmark: Loses in shootout
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Ducks.
Ullmark has just one win in his last six games (1-3-2), and he's given up at least three goals in all of them. The Ducks weren't good at protecting leads Sunday, and the Senators never offered Ullmark the chance to do so, though they were quick to respond each time they fell behind. The 31-year-old netminder dropped to 5-7-2 with a 3.07 GAA and an .889 save percentage over 15 outings this season. Ullmark and Anton Forsberg have alternated starts over the last five games. It's unclear if that pattern will hold, but the Senators have another back-to-back next weekend, so both goalies should see action over the next seven days.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Kept busy in win
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 36 of 39 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.
Ullmark put an end to his four-game losing skid, and he had to be sharp to do so. The Sharks rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the third period, but Adam Gaudette's second goal of the game with 4:12 left was enough to earn the win for the Senators. This was Ullmark's heaviest workload in a start this season. He's now 5-7-1 with a 3.09 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 14 appearances. He'll likely split the next two starts with Anton Forsberg, as the Senators finish their California trip with a back-to-back in Los Angeles on Saturday and Anaheim on Sunday.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Slated to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Ullmark is expected to start on the road against San Jose on Wednesday, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.
Ullmark's last win came Nov. 12 against the Maple Leafs, and he's posted a record of 0-3-1 with a 4.27 GAA and an .835 save percentage across four outings since then.

The Sharks are 7-12-5 and have averaged 2.63 goals per game this year, so they're typically a favorable adversary.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Queasy season continues
Rotowire
Ullmark made 17 saves in a 4-3 loss to Vancouver on Saturday.
He wasn't bad, but he wasn't great, and that's been the theme of his time in Ottawa early in the 2024-25 campaign. Ullmark is a strong netminder, but he has just four wins and has struggled with a 3.10 GAA and an .881 save percentage through 13 appearances. He should stabilize eventually, though it's been a difficult adjustment playing behind the Senators' defense after benefiting from Boston's system in his previous three seasons.

Ullmark was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports, indicating he will guard the home net Saturday against the Canucks
Ullmark will look to snap his three-game winless skid -- he's struggled to an .841 save percentage in that span, allowing 13 goals on 82 shots. Overall, the 31-year-old netminder is 4-6-1 with an .887 save percentage and 3.00 GAA through his first 12 games with Ottawa.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Winless streak at three
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 29 shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Vegas scored a goal in each period, but the Ottawa offense didn't wake up until the third and the team's late rally fell short. Ullmark has lost three straight starts and has gone 2-3-1 so far in November with a shaky 3.31 GAA and .874 save percentage, as the Senators' defensive system has predictably been a lot leakier than what the veteran netminder was used to with the Bruins.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Starting Thursday
Rotowire
Ullmark will be between the home pipes versus Vegas on Thursday, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.
Ullmark has been shaky his last two starts, allowing 10 goals on only 50 shots. The Swedish netminder is 4-5-1 with a 2.99 GAA and an .884 save percentage in 11 appearances this season. Ullmark is off to his worst start since the 2018-19 season, when he was 15-14-5 with a 3.11 GAA and a .905 save percentage with Buffalo. The Golden Knights will look to get back on track after they were shut out 3-0 in Toronto on Wednesday.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Needs to shake loss off fast
Rotowire
Ullmark made 26 saves in a 5-2 loss to the Oilers on Tuesday.
It wasn't his best game, to say the least. The Oilers picked Ullmark and the Sens apart Tuesday night. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard all had three-point games. Overall, Ullmark is 4-5-1 with a 2.99 GAA and an .884 save percentage. That's a far cry from his excellent stats from his Boston days, but the Bruins team structure really helped there. Shake this off, and get him back in your lineup as you'd normally use him.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: In goal Tuesday
Rotowire
Ullmark will get the starting nod at home versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Ullmark will look to bounce back from a disappointing matchup with the Flyers his last time out in which he gave up five goals on 19 shots (.737 save percentage). After that poor performance, the 31-year-old netminder was given the night off versus Carolina on Saturday in favor of Anton Forsberg. If Ullmark continues to struggle, he could be in danger of losing the No. 1 job in Ottawa.

Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 14 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Flyers.
The Senators out-shot the visitors 37-19, but the lack of action may have cost Ullmark in the end, as Matvei Michkov's OT winner came from a sharp angle when the veteran netminder failed to squeeze the post. It's the third time in 10 outings this season that Ullmark has given up five goals, and he's 4-4-1 to begin his Ottawa tenure with a 2.77 GAA and a disappointing .890 save percentage.

Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 14 of 16 shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

Through eight appearances this season, Ullmark has gone 3-4-0 with an .890 save percentage. However, he's given up two or fewer goals in four of his last five outings, so he's been delivering solid results even if his save percentage doesn't show it.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Yields two goals in loss
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 16 of 18 shots in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.
That's a tough-luck loss -- the Senators had 41 shots on net but only put one puck past Igor Shesterkin at the other end. Ullmark has allowed two or fewer goals in three of his five starts, but this was the first time he took a loss this year despite such an effort. He's now at a 2-3-0 with a 2.62 GAA and a .902 save percentage over six games (five starts). The Senators are back at home Saturday to face the Kraken. Anton Forsberg should be penciled in for that start since Ullmark is just over a week removed from recovering from a muscle strain, but his light workload Friday could allow him to start back-to-back contests.
