Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark stopped 48 of the 49 shots he saw en route to defeating the Detroit Red Wings on Monday evening. The Red Wings dominated the shot total but Ullmark was able to lead the way. His lone blemish came in the third period when Dylan Larkin found the back of the net on a wrist shot. Ullmark was incredible in the second frame as he turned away all 27 shots he saw. This outing extended his winning streak to three games. However, during the first two games of this streak, he allowed three goals in each game. Before this streak, the 31-year-old held a 1-4-1 record with a high 4.00 GAA and a .898 save percentage. Anton Forsberg will likely take the starter's crease on Tuesday evening, which sets Ullmark up for a rematch against his former club, the Boston Bruins, on Thursday night.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark will get the starting nod on Wednesday when the Senators host the Winnipeg Jets. Since returning to action on February 4, Ullmark has held an underwhelming 0-3 record with a hefty 4.88 and .879 save percentage. Before his return, Ullmark was sidelined since December 22 due to a back injury. While Ullmark has yet to find his footing since his return, the 31-year-old was quite productive before the injury. Over his previous 10 starts before suffering the injury, Ullmark posted a stellar 8-0-1 record with a .952 save percentage and a 1.48 GAA. On Wednesday, he will face the Winnipeg Jets who have averaged the third-highest goals per game (3.57). As a result, DFS managers should look to fade Ullmark in this matchup until he returns to form.
Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (back) is gearing up to return to the lineup. Leevi Merilainen, who improved to 8-3-1 with Saturday's 6-0 win over the Minnesota Wild, has been reassigned to the AHL by the Senators, indicating that Ullmark is ready to take over the crease on Monday against the Nashville Predators. Ullmark has missed 18 games with a back injury. He has put together a 12-7-2 record during his first year with the Senators, allowing 2.38 goals with a .915 save percentage and three shutouts.

The team expressed optimism that Ullmark could return during their current homestand but will need at least another day to recover.

Anton Forsberg is slated to start on Thursday evening, with Leevi Merilainen operating as the No.2 option. Prior to his injury, Ullmark was riding an impressive seven-game winning streak. During this stretch, he carried a .967% SV with a 0.99 GAA. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Ullmark's status, as either Forsberg or Merilainen will likely be optioned to the AHL when Ullmark is cleared to return to action.
According to Bruce Garrioch of TSN, Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (back) is nearing a return and could return during their next homestand on Thursday or Saturday. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since suffering this injury on December 22. Before the injury, Ullmark began to turn the corner on a slow start as he was riding a perfect seven-game winning streak with a .967% SV and a 0.99 GAA. While sidelined, Leevi Merilainen has taken over the Ottawa crease and performed quite well. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Ullmark's status leading up to their game against the Capitals on Thursday or the Wild on Saturday, as he could make his return. However, given Merilainen's excellent play as of late, fantasy managers should expect both of them to share the crease for the foreseeable future.

He has managed three shutouts with his new club and holds a 2.38 goals-against average with a .915 save percentage.

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.

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.

Anton Forsberg started against the Kings but struggled and was replaced by Mads Sogaard in the second period.
