Senators' Linus Ullmark: Cruises to win over Calgary
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 19 of 20 shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
Martin Pospisil opened the scoring late in the first period, but that was all Ullmark would give up in this game. He has just two wins in four outings since the Olympic break, but Ullmark has given up just 10 goals on 100 shots in that span to keep the Senators competitive in each of those games. The 32-year-old is now 18-8-7 with a 2.81 GAA and an .886 save percentage over 34 appearances this season. The Senators' road trip continues in Seattle on Saturday.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Hangs on for win
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 14 of 16 shots on net in Monday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.
Despite allowing the lone goal of the first period, Ullmark responded well and held up in net while Ottawa's offense came to life in the third period. With the win, the 32-year-old netminder now has a 16-8-5 record, a 2.86 GAA and an .884 save percentage across 30 appearances this season. He has won back-to-back games since his return to the lineup and has provided a stint of stability to Ottawa's crease, which has been volatile for the majority of the season. He should command the bulk of the workload moving forward, making him the lone goaltending option in Ottawa to roster in fantasy. The Senators have the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday, which could see James Reimer make the road start versus the Hurricanes if the team doesn't want Ullmark starting consecutive days after being out of action for a month.

While his second full season with the Senators has been a slight step back from a season ago, he sits just five victories away from securing 20-plus wins for a fifth consecutive year. With an impressive showing in his return, Ullmark has a bright outlook with Ottawa moving up the Eastern Conference standings.
