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.

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.

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.

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.
