It seems good news for Tim Stutzle as it was announced Wednesday that the Senators' star would likely only miss a week due to a should strain that he had picked up in Tuesday's game. The 20-year-old was having a very solid third NHL season prior to the injury, with 10 goals, 27 points, 20 PIMs, 67 SOG and a -9 plus/minus through 28 games this season.
Spence has been recalled as a replacement for the injured Drew Doughty Monday. In 22 games with the Ontario Reign (AHL), he has two goals and 21 points with 18 PIMs and will be looking to make his season debut the next time the Kings take the ice.
Ullmark stopped 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%) to pick up his sixth consecutive win with a victory over Colorado in his last start. The 29-year-old is leading Vezina Trophy considerations due to him leading the NHL in SV% (.936), GAA (1.93) and Wins (14-1-0). He takes on the injured Colorado Avalanche, who have dropped three of their last four games average 1.33 GF in each of the losses.
Shepard has gone 6-0-2 with a 1.83 GAA and .932 SV% in eight games with Hershey (AHL) this season. With Darcy Kuemper dealing with an upper-body injury, Shepard is expected to serve as Charlie Lindgren's backup on Monday.
Zub was hit in the face by the pick on Friday and missed Saturday's game vs. the Sharks. Sub will miss at 3-4 weeks, so don't expect to see him back on the Senators blueline until after the Christmas break.
Spence has been having a a very strong season with Ontario (AHL) posting just under a point-per-game with a goal and 15 assists and 14 PIMs through 17 games. Spence played in 24 games with Los Angeles in 2021-22 and had two goals and six assists with 41 SOG.
Ullmark had made 28 of 30 stops (.933 SV%) before leaving Friday's game vs. Carolina with an upper-body injury. The Bruins will hope this is short term as Ullmark has been having a great season, leading all goaltenders in wins (13), GAA (1.96) and SV% (.935 SV%)
Chabot has not played since Nov.12th due to a concussion but is back in the Senators' lineup Friday vs. Anaheim. Ottawa's top defenseman was having a solid start prior to the concussion, picking up three goals and three assists with 34 SOG in 14 games played.
Ullmark stopped 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%) as he earned his fifth straight victory his last time out vs. Tampa Bay. Ullmark has been a freak this season, leading all NHL netminders in wins with his 13-1-0 record, SV% (.935 SV%) and GAA (1.96). He takes on the struggling Carolina Hurricanes who are in the middle of a four-game skid.
Chabot has been out since Nov.12th with a concussion and will not return Wednesday as originally planned. Chabot has averaged 25:45 TOI this season so his return will be highly welcomed. Through 14 games played this season he has three goals and three assists along with 34 SOG.
The 2019 1st round pick (19th overall) was recalled for the first time this season after putting up three goals and seven assists along with eight PIMs through 15 games with Belleville (AHL). In 16 career NHL games prior the season, he has five assists through 16 GP.
