Senators' Linus Ullmark: Winning streak up to seven games
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 29 of 31 shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flames.
Ullmark also had an assist on Brady Tkachuk's game-winning tally. This was Ullmark's seventh straight win, and it was just the second time in that span he's allowed multiple goals. The Swede improved to 12-7-2 with a 2.37 GAA and a .916 save percentage over 22 appearances. His hot streak has come with a heavy workload due to the absence of Anton Forsberg (undisclosed), who has been unavailable for the last three games. Ullmark will likely start one of the Senators' contests this weekend, either Saturday in Vancouver or Sunday in Edmonton, but it wouldn't be surprising for Leevi Merilainen to get a game in that back-to-back set.

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.

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.
