In 2018 he represented Russia in the Olympics, where he had four assists in six games to help the team win gold.

Goalie Start
Ullmark will start against the Capitals on Monday.
Ullmark has missed the last 18 games with a lower-body injury but will make his first start since January 28th tonight vs. the Capitals. Before getting hurt, Ullmark was 5-3-0 with a 2.17 GAA and .929 SV% in eight January starts and is 10-5-1 with a 2.59 GAA and .917 SV% in 16 home games this season. In his first start against the Capitals, Ullmark surrendered six goals on 34 shots in a 6-1 loss.

Line Change
Cousins has arrived in Vegas and will make his Golden Knights debut on Wednesday.
Cousins will play on the third line with Chandler Stephenson and Nicolas Roy. He joins his new team with 22 points (9G / 13A) in 58 games this season, including four power-play points (2G / 2A).
Line Change
Cousins (visa) is questionable to make his Golden Knights debut on Wednesday.
Cousins was not on the ice for the Golden Knights morning skate because he is having issues with his visa coming from Canada. Vegas skated with 11 forwards, leaving a spot open for Cousins to skate with Chandler Stephenson and Nicolas Roy on the third line. Consider Cousins as a game-time decision.
The Golden Knights have acquired Nick Cousins from the Canadiens for a 2021 fourth-round draft pick.
Cousins was an effective bottom-6 forward for the Canadiens this season, posting 22 points (9G / 13A) in 58 games while playing just 13:28 ATOI. In Vegas, he'll help fill a void left by Alex Tuch's injury and should be a third line winger moving forward.
Chabot (lower-body) will play Monday in Columbus.
Chabot was hurt early in Saturday's game vs. the Canadiens but will play tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. This is obviously big news for the Senators, but he comes in with just three assists in his last 11 games.
Line Change
Jensen will draw back into the Capitals lineup on Monday.
Jensen was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Radko Gudas in the lineup tonight vs. the Islanders. Jensen has had very little success offensively this season, posting four assists in 54 games.
Ullmark will miss 3-to-4 weeks with a lower-body injury.
Ullmark suffered a non-contact lower-body injury in Tuesday's loss to the Senators. It looked like it could be a long-term injury but Ullmark catches a break with a 3-to-4 week timetable. Jonas Johansson has been called up from Rochester (AHL) to take his spot on the roster.
