Linus Ullmark Remains On Winning Path With A Shutout
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark won a sixth consecutive start with a 30-save shutout on Tuesday against Seattle, backstopping his team to a 3-0 victory. This marks his second shutout in three games, and Ullmark boasts an eight-game point streak. It's the longest run without a regulation defeat by a Senators netminder since Andrew Hammond went 14-0-1 over a 15-game stretch in 2014-15. It took a while for Ullmark to live up to his reputation in Ottawa, but he's been brilliant recently, improving to 11-7-2 for the season. The Swedish netminder has tied a league-high with three shutouts and has a 2.39 goals-against average with a .915 save percentage.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark registered a fourth consecutive win with a 32-save shutout in Friday's 3-0 victory over Carolina. It was his second shutout of the campaign and his 10th career shutout. Ullmark had some struggles with his new team early in the season, but he's been back to his Vezina-winning form lately, going 5-0-1 across his last six starts. The Swedish netminder has allowed just three total goals across his last four appearances. The recent improvement in Ullmark's play has improved his record to 9-7-2. He has allowed 2.52 goals with a .909 save percentage. We'll likely see Anton Forsberg in the Senators net for Saturday's matchup against Pittsburgh, with Ullmark returning to the crease Tuesday night versus Seattle.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark will make his 18th start of the season in Friday's matchup against Carolina. The 31-year-old faces a difficult challenge against a team that has the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference and scores 3.71 goals per game, but Ullmark enters the action in good form. He has won three starts in a row and hasn't suffered a single regulation loss in his last five appearances. Ullmark has taken his record to 8-7-2, allowing 2.70 goals with a .903 save percentage and one shutout. Carolina has suffered only three home defeats this season, but two of them have come in the past four games.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark will get the nod for Wednesday's matchup against Anaheim. He will face the Ducks for the second time this month. On Dec. 1, Anaheim beat Ullmark and the Senators 4-3 in a shootout on home ice. However, this marks Ullmark's lone loss in his last four starts. He has limited Detroit and Nashville to only one goal in back-to-back starts, improving to 7-7-2. On average, Ullmark has allowed 2.81 goals this season with a .898 save percentage and one shutout. Ottawa's No. 1 had a tough time against the Ducks in the first meeting of the season, but Anaheim averages the third-fewest goals in the league (2.42), making this a good matchup for Ullmark.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark stopped 37 of the 38 shots he faced en route to defeating the Nashville Predators on Saturday evening. The Predators had the advantage in the shot total, but Ullmark kept the Senators in the game. His lone mistake came late in the final period off a wrist shot by Fedor Svechkov. Ullmark has allowed just one goal or less in his past two starts and is now carrying a two-game win streak. This is a nice bounce-back, as Ullmark allowed at least three goals in each of his previous six outings before this win streak. Overall, the 31-year-old has a 2.81 GAA, .898% SV, and a 7-7-1 record. Fantasy managers should expect Anton Forsberg to get the starting nod against the New York Islanders this evening.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark posted his first shutout of the season on Tuesday with a 27-save effort against Toronto in a 3-0 win. It's his ninth career shutout, which ties Eddie Lack for the seventh-most among Swedish netminders. The shutout came at a great time, as Ullmark probably needed a confidence boost after finishing three consecutive starts with a save percentage below .900. He has had a rollercoaster ride with the Senators so far, going 4-4-0 with a 2.51 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage. However, Ullmark has now picked up two consecutive wins, and Thursday's meeting with the offensively challenged Philadelphia Flyers gives him a good opportunity to continue on the winning path.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) will return to the crease on Friday versus Vegas. He has missed four contests after sustaining a muscle strain. This will be Ullmark's third start as a Senator. He beat Florida 3-1 in his debut with 31 saves but was hammered by Montreal 4-1 in his second outing. The Swedish veteran has registered a good .914 save percentage with his new team. Ullmark's numbers could take a beating on Friday, as the Golden Knights have gone a perfect 4-0-0 on home ice, averaging 5.25 goals per game.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) will remain on the shelf for Thursday's clash with the Devils. The Senators hoped to have their No. 1 back on Thursday after he sat out Monday's matchup against Los Angeles, but Anton Forsberg will get another start, with Mads Sogaard working as his backup. Ullmark's next chance to return comes on Saturday versus Tampa Bay. Forsberg gave up three goals on nine shots on Monday and was pulled in the second period in favor of Sogaard, who didn't look sharp either, but the team somehow squeezed out an 8-7 victory in overtime. It could be another bad day at the office for Forsberg on Thursday, as he faces a very talented offense. The Devils have averaged 3.17 goals per game while going 4-2-0.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) might be ready to return to action on Thursday against New Jersey. Ullmark was sidelined for Monday's meeting with the Kings due to a muscle strain. However, he skated on Wednesday, and Senators head coach Travis Green said that Ullmark could play against the Devils. The Swedish netminder has gone 1-1-0 to start the year, allowing 2.58 goals with a .914 save percentage. His career record against the Devils stands at an impressive 11-4-0.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark sat out Monday's matchup against Los Angeles due to a muscle strain. Senators head coach Travis Green doesn't expect Ullmark to be out for long but said he doesn't know if the 2023 Vezina Trophy winner will be ready for the next game on Thursday versus New Jersey. Before missing Monday's action, Ullmark went 1-1-0 with a 2.58 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage to start the season. Anton Forsberg started against the Kings but struggled and was replaced by Mads Sogaard in the second period. The two combined for a .731 save percentage in a high-scoring 8-7 overtime win, so things aren't looking good for Ottawa if Ullmark is forced to miss multiple games.
Linus Ullmark Agrees To Four-Year Extension With Senators
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark signed a four-year, $33 million extension on Wednesday. The new contract, which has an average annual value of $8.25 million, will kick in next season. Senators locked up Ullmark to a multi-year deal before he's even made his team debut. The Swedish netminder was acquired in a trade on June 24 following his impressive three-year stint with the Boston Bruins. The big extension indicates that the Senators have complete faith in Ullmark's ability to replicate the outstanding form in Ottawa. Ullmark, who picked up the Vezina Trophy as the NHL's best goalie in 2023, is set to see his first regular-season action as a Senator on Thursday against the Stanley Cup-defending Florida Panthers.
The Ottawa Senators acquired goaltender Linus Ullmark in a deal with the Boston Bruins on Monday night. Forward Mark Kastelic, goaltender Joonas Korpisalo, and a 2024 first-round draft pick were sent the other way. Ullmark moves on from Boston after enjoying three strong seasons with the Bruins. He won the Vezina Trophy as the league's best netminder in 2022-23 and shared the William M. Jennings Trophy in the same season for the fewest goals allowed per game with Jeremy Swayman. However, Swayman pipped him for the No. 1 job for the 2024 playoffs and is set for a large contract extension this offseason as a restricted free agent, meaning Ullmark became redundant for Boston. He looks like a great pickup for a Senators team that allowed 3.43 goals per game in 2023-24.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark is getting the starting nod for Tuesday's contest versus the visiting Ottawa Senators. The veteran has been alternating starts with Jeremy Swayman of late after Swayman had overtaken the starter's role despite Ullmark winning the Vezina Trophy last season. He was likely to repeat his tidy 1.89 goals-against average and .938 save percentage from 49 games last season but Ullmark still sports a quality 2.66 GAA and .912 Sv% across 33 outings (32 starts) this season, going 18-7-7 in the process. The Bruins enter Tuesday's contest sitting atop the Atlantic Division with a 40-14-15 record, one point up on the Florida Panthers who have six more regulation wins.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark recorded his first shutout of the season on Thursday as the team beat the Canucks on home ice 4-0. A tough matchup turned out to be a walk in the park for Ullmark and the Bruins, as only 17 saves were needed to keep the league leaders from scoring. Ullmark improved to 16-6-2, and he boasts a 2.67 goals-against average with a .916 save percentage. The Bruins are among the top defensive teams in the league, and they are now tied for the fourth-most shutouts for the season, with four clean sheets registered.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark (lower body) is an option to start Thursday versus Colorado. He's been unavailable for three games while dealing with a lower-body injury. Ullmark has gone 13-5-2 this season while splitting starts with Jeremy Swayman. The latter has just posted his third shutout of the campaign, so it might be difficult to keep him out of action on Thursday, but Ullmark should be back between the pipes soon.
Linus Ullmark, Matt Poitras Remain Day-To-Day For Bruins
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark and forward Matt Poitras both remain day-to-day for the club and will remain on the club's four-game road trip. Ullmark left Tuesday's overtime loss to the Arizona Coyotes midway through the extra frame with what is being labeled a lower-body injury. The 2022-23 Vezina Trophy winner hasn't been quite as sharp this season as he sports a 2.78 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage in 21 outings after posting an eye-popping 1.89 GAA and .938 Sv% in 49 games last season. Poitras also left Tuesday's game early with a shoulder injury after skating 8:34. The rookie has notched five goals and 15 points across his first 30 NHL games while recording 38 shots and a plus-four rating in that time.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark failed to complete Tuesday's game against Arizona due to a lower-body injury. The Swedish netminder exited the game 2:40 into overtime after getting hurt while making a save. He finished the contest with 32 stops and allowed three goals. Jeremy Swayman completed the tilt in the Bruins crease and didn't register any saves as Nick Schmaltz gave the Coyotes a 4-3 win inside the final minute of the extra frame. Boston has rotated its goalies throughout the season, but it will be fully Swayman's task to hold down the fort if Ullmark has to spend time on the sidelines.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark earned his ninth win of the season as he stopped 31-of-34 shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 victory against the Coyotes. Ullmark bounced back from a loss in his most recent start against the Sabres, while he surrendered three goals in his third consecutive start. Ullmark has posted a record of 9-4-1 to go along with a 2.71 goals against average and .917 save percentage through 14 appearances, while forming one of the league's best goalie tandems with Jeremy Swayman.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark made it three wins in three starts for the season when he stopped 30 of 31 shots in a 3-1 victory over Anaheim on Sunday. Both netminders played a key role in the contest, as the first two periods finished goalless. Ullmark doesn't appear to have any plans of slowing down after winning the Vezina Trophy last season with a mind-boggling 40-6-1 record. In addition to winning all his three starts of the new campaign, he's allowed just one goal in each outing, producing a .962 save percentage. If Ullmark keeps this up, he could become the first back-to-back Vezina winner since Martin Brodeur in 2007 and 2008.
Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark won the 2022-23 Vezina Trophy as the NHL's best netminder Monday. The 29-year-old had a phenomenal regular season with a 40-6-1 record while posting a 1.89 goals-against average with a .938 save percentage and two shutouts. Boston became the first club to have four different Vezina Trophy winners under the current selection criteria (since 1981-82). Ullmark, who is the third Swedish netminder to win the Vezina Trophy, was also voted to the NHL First All-Star Team, and he picked up the William M. Jennings Trophy for the work he did with Jeremy Swayman in helping the Bruins become the team with the fewest goals allowed during the regular season.
