Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 16 of 18 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over the Predators.
Ullmark endured a difficult opening period, surrendering goals to Ross Colton and Jonathan Marchessault as Nashville established a 2-0 lead.

Ullmark finished with an .889 save percentage and extended his strong start to the campaign. He's won each of his first four starts while allowing two or fewer goals each time. That translates to an impressive 81 saves on 86 shots faced -- good for a .941 save percentage.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: In goal versus Nashville
Rotowire

Ullmark has won all three of his games this season, allowing just three goals on 68 shots. The Predators haven't put it all together consistently yet, scoring 12 goals over four games. Still, Nashville won its second game this season with a 5-2 victory over the Canadiens on Thursday.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Nabs win in return
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 28 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Flyers.
A Matvei Michkov power-play tally in the second period ruined his shutout bid, but otherwise Ullmark looked sharp. The veteran netminder was shaken up in his prior outing Monday and exited early after a collision in the crease, but he appears as though he's none the worse for wear. Ullmark could find himself right back between the pipes for Saturday's home game against the Predators, especially given his 3-0-0 record, 1.13 GAA and .956 save percentage to start the season.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Returning to action Thursday
Rotowire
Ullmark was the first goalie off the ice at Senators' morning skate, indicating that he'll guard the home crease in Thursday's contest against the Flyers, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
Ullmark has been dealing with an undisclosed injury since he exited Monday's 4-1 win over the Bruins at the start of the third period. However, he appears to be good to go Thursday, where he'll look to continue his strong start to the 2026-27 campaign. Between his two outings, he has a 2-0-0 record, a 1.20 GAA and a .949 save percentage across 39 shots on goal. He'll face off against the Flyers, who have been held to just five goals across their first four games of the new season. Ullmark is a strong start in most fantasy formats and is a top waiver-wire candidate ahead of Thursday's slate of games.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Shelved for Tuesday's clash
Rotowire
Ullmark (undisclosed) will not play in Tuesday's road clash against Detroit, per Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site.
With the call-up of Jonas Johansson Tuesday afternoon, Ullmark's absence Tuesday was expected. The 33-year-old netminder left Monday's 4-1 win over the Bruins after he was involved in a collision with winger JJ Peterka. However, head coach Travis Green mentioned that Ullmark is doing fine, so he likely avoided a long-term injury. The veteran backstop is off to a strong start in the 2026-27 campaign, where he has compiled a 2-0-0 record, a 1.20 GAA and a .949 save percentage across 39 shots on net between two appearances. In Ullmark's absence, Samuel Ersson will make his first regular-season start with the Senators.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Leaves game after collision in crease
Rotowire
Ullmark (undisclosed) departed Monday's 4-1 win over the Bruins after tweaking something, though head coach Travis Green said the netminder was pulled from the game for precautionary reasons, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Ullmark stopped all 10 shots he faced before being replaced by Samuel Ersson at the start of the third period. The 33-year-old Ullmark was nicked up after a collision in the blue paint with Boston's JJ Peterka. Green said postgame that Ullmark will continue to be evaluated. Ottawa will continue its road trip in the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday in Detroit. Ullmark should be considered questionable, at best, for that matchup at this time, but it would not be surprising to see Ersson draw the start Tuesday.
Ullmark will start Monday's road game against Boston, Senators on-air host Jackson Starr reports.
Ullmark drew the Opening Night start in Toronto on Saturday and turned aside 27 of 29 shots in a 3-2 victory. He'll remain in the crease for Monday's matchup and will attempt to continue his winning ways against the Maple Leafs, who have lost two of their first three regular-season games.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Strong when game on line
Rotowire
Ullmark made 27 saves in a 3-2 win over Toronto on Saturday.
Ullmark was strong when he needed to be, especially in the second period when he stretched to get a toe on a great shot by William Nylander to keep the score knotted 2-2. Ullmark's overall stat line last year was mid, but he sparkled with a 14-4-3 record, 2.43 GAA and .904 save percentage in his final 21 starts after returning from a mental health leave. He's the key to the team's success this season post-Brady Tkachuk.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Stops three goals in win
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 22 of 25 shots in Saturday's 4-3 preseason win over the Canadiens.
Ullmark allowed Brett Berard's opening goal 3:49 into the game but kept Montreal off the board for the remainder of the first two periods while Ottawa built a 3-1 advantage. The Canadiens then struck twice in a span of 1:46 during the third, with Alex Belzile and Sasha Pastujov beating Ullmark to tie the contest, but a later goal from William Eklund gave the Senators -- and Ullmark -- the win. Ullmark posted a 28-12-8 record with three shutouts, a 2.73 GAA and an .891 save percentage in 49 regular-season appearances for Ottawa in 2025-26. While this wasn't his finest performance with the regular season right around the corner, he's slated to open the 2026-27 campaign as the first-choice goaltender for the Senators.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Falters in preseason debut
Rotowire
Ullmark stopped 20 of 23 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 preseason loss to the Maple Leafs. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.
Ullmark got the whole game, but the Senators as a whole struggled. The 33-year-old netminder is eligible for one more preseason game, though it's not yet clear if he'll make a start when the Senators have another split-squad set against the Canadiens on Saturday. In any case, expect Ullmark to handle the bulk of the workload in goal in 2026-27.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Gets no support in four-game sweep
Rotowire
Ullmark made 26 saves in a 4-2 loss to Carolina on Saturday in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round. He allowed just two goals.
The four-game sweep was not on Ullmark. Only two Senators managed to score goals -- Drake Batherson had three and Dylan Cozens had two. Total. Ullmark finished with a .932 save percentage. He is just the second goalie in NHL history to have a save percentage north of .930 and still get swept in a four-game series, according to ESPN's Blake Warye. Jonathan Quick (.947) suffered the same fate in the first round in 2018.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Needs help from his teammates
Rotowire
Ullmark made 25 saves in a 2-1 loss to Carolina in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference First Round on Thursday.
Ullmark continues to do his part, but he needs his teammates to score. The Senators went 0-for-5 on the power play, putting up just four shots. They couldn't beat Frederik Andersen on a 5-on-3 opportunity for 1:28 in the second period. Ullmark remains winless this postseason, but he has looked every part the star he was in Boston. His 2.02 GAA and .933 save percentage showcase his talent. Game 4 is Saturday, and Ullmark will need to be stellar if the Senators are to extend this past four games, as the Hurricanes are up 3-0.

Senators' Linus Ullmark: Heartbreaking 2OT loss Monday
Rotowire
Ullmark made 43 saves Monday during the Senators' 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Hurricanes in Game 2 of their first-round series.
After Carolina jumped out to a 2-0 lead midway through the second period, Ullmark allowed Ottawa to rally by shutting the door for the rest of regulation and then stayed sharp into extra time -- including a stop on a Jordan Martinook penalty shot in the first OT period -- before Martinook got his revenge in the game's 94th minute. Ullmark has allowed five goals on 75 shots to begin the playoffs, and he's not the reason the Senators head home for Game 3 on Thursday staring at a 2-0 series deficit.

Ullmark will patrol the road blue paint Monday versus the Hurricanes, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
Ullmark turned in a pretty solid effort in Saturday's Game 1 loss, stopping 27 of 29 shots, but the Senators weren't able to find the back of the net in a shutout loss. Game 2 won't be any easier for the Swedish netminder -- Ottawa will be without arguably its top shutdown defenseman in Artem Zub (undisclosed).
