The Senators return to the ice after a five-day break and will turn to Ullmark between the pipes against the Boston Bruins. Ullmark has played better lately, helping his team record a point in five of his last six starts (3-1-2), with a 3.00 GAA and .873 SV%. However, his inconsistent play has raised concerns. The 32-year-old goalie has a 3.41 GA and .861 SV% in 11 games this season (5-4-2). The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -138 road favorites against a Bruins team riding a four-game winning streak.

The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -138 road favorites against a Bruins team riding a four-game winning streak.

Ottawa leads the league with 41 goals this season, an impressive stat mitigated by the fact that they have allowed an Eastern Conference-worst 44 goals. Goaltending has been an issue for the Senators early in the 2025-26 season, highlighted by an ugly 3.44 GAA and .858 SV% that Ullmark is sporting through nine games (4-4-1). The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -158 home favorites against a league-worst Calgary Flames team (2-8-1) that is being outscored 39-24.

Ullmark had the night off on Monday, with the recently recalled Hunter Shepard serving as Leevi Merilainen's backup, but he returns to the crease on Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 32-year-old Ullmark has had an up-and-down start to the 2025-26 season, posting a 3.11 GAA and .870 SV% in eight games (4-3-1), but has been excellent in his last two games (2-0-0), saving 34 of 36 combined shots (.944 SV%).

The Senators have struggled early in the 2025-26 season, allowing a league-worst 33 goals through seven games (4.71 GA / GP). Poor defensive play has been the main contributor to the Senators' lackluster start, but Ullmark has failed to impress as well, posting an ugly 3.80 GAA and .854 SV% through six games (2-3-1). The Senators hope to rebound on Thursday, entering the contest as -156 home favorites against a Philadelphia Flyers team off to a 3-2-1 start to the season.

The Senators have struggled defensively and between the pipes this season, outscored 30-20 through six games (2-4-0). Ullmark will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers, looking to return closer to his career averages, a 2.57 GAA and .916 SV%. The 32-year-old goalie is sporting a subpar 3.99 GAA and .848 SV% through five games in 2025-26 (2-3-0). The Senators enter Tuesday's contest as +111 home underdogs against an Oilers team battling through adversity amid a three-game losing streak.

Ullmark allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Senators' 4-3 shootout win over the Kraken on Thursday. The win snapped a two-game losing stream for Ullmark, who is now 2-2-0 with a 3.72 GAA and .862 SV% through four games. Ullmark should make for a good start, as -140 home favourites vs. the Islanders.

Ullmark has not impressed early in the 2025-26 season, which gave backup Leevi Merilainen an opportunity to showcase his talent on Wednesday, but he fell short, allowing seven goals on 26 shots (.731 SV%) in an 8-4 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. The 32-year-old Ullmark will return to the crease on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken. Ullmark has a 4.07 GAA and .842 SV% through three games this season (1-2-0). The Senators enter the action on Thursday as -141 home favorites against the Kraken.

Ullmark has showcased less-than-desirable results through two games this season (1-1-0), allowing 10 combined goals of 52 shots (.808 SV%), and hopes to rebound on Monday, tending the twine against the Nashville Predators. The 32-year-old Ullmark had a serviceable first season in Ottawa in 2024-25, posting a 2.72 GAA, .909 SV%, and four shutouts in 44 appearances (25-14-3). The Senators enter Monday's contest as -166 home favorites against the Predators.

The Senators will start their season on Thursday with Ullmark tending the twine against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 32-year-old Ullmark battled some injuries in his first season with the Senators but was solid when called upon, posting a 2.72 GAA, .909 SV%, and four shutouts in 44 outings (25-14-3). Still, the Senators enter Thursday's contest as +154 road underdogs against a Lightning team that led the league offensively last season (3.59 GF/GP).

The Senators will of course turn back to Ullmark between the pipes on Thursday as they hope to push their opening round series against the Maple Leafs to a deciding Game 7. The former Vezina Trophy winner is coming off his best performance of the playoffs and arguably stole the victory for Ottawa in Game 5, posting a shutout in a game where the Sens were outshot 29-19. Ullmark owns a 2.80 GAA and an .883 SV% through the opening five games of the series. The Senators enter action on Thursday at -120 on the money line.

Ullmark was solid in Ottawa's 4-3 overtime win in Game 4 on Saturday, saving 31 of 34 shots (.912 SV%) for his first postseason victory as a Senator, narrowing the Toronto Maple Leafs' series lead to 3-1. The 31-year-old netminder has a 3.44 GAA and .848 SV% in four games this postseason (1-3). He returns to the crease in Game 5 for a Senators team that is a +152 road favorite against the Maple Leafs, who have outscored them 15-10 in the series.

As expected, the Senators will stick with Ullmark for Game 3 of the series despite entering Thursday night's matchup in a 2-0 hole. Though he was unable to come away with the victory, Ullmark turned in a markedly better performance in the second game of the 2025 Battle of Ontario. The former Vezina Trophy winner stopped 18 of the 21 shots he faced in the 3-2 overtime loss. Ullmark and the Senators enter action on Thursday at -130 on the money line.

The Senators will unsurprisingly turn back to Ullmark between the pipes for Game 2 in Toronto. Ullmark had a night to forget in Game 1 on Sunday, allowing six goals on 24 shots. The six minor penalties his teammates were guilty of certainly didn't help matters, but Ullmark will undoubtedly need to be at the top of his game if the Senators are going to even the series on Tuesday. Ottawa enters action at +135 on the money line.
