Ullmark did not dress for the last two Senators games (1-1-0), but could return to action as soon Saturday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 31-year-old net-minder just signed a four-year, $33 million contract extension with Ottawa days before the start of the season. He has a 2.58 GAA and .914 SV% through two games with the team so far (1-1-0).

Linus Ullmark (strain) was at practice and appears to be nearing a return but will be sidelined for at least one more contest, allowing Forbserg to start for the second straight game. Forsberg struggled in his first game, allowing three goals on nine shots (.667 SV%) before being pulled in an exhilarating contest that the Senators were eventually victorious in, defeating the Los Angeles Kings 8-7 in overtime. The Senators enter action on Thursday as +119 home underdogs against an offensively potent New Jersey Devils club.

Ullmark did not dress in Ottawa's high-scoring 8-7 victory over Los Angeles on Monday due to a strain. The 31-year-old net-minder just signed a four-year, $33 million contract extension with Ottawa last Wednesday. Head Coach Travis Green said Ullmark has a possibility to be ready for the Senators' next contest on Thursday.

Zub played only 2:38 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game with an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old hard-hitting defenseman has battled injuries the last two seasons, being limited to 53 and 69 games respectively.

Sogaard's second call-up this week might indicate that Linus Ullmark (muscle strain) is not ready to return to the crease yet. The 23-year-old Sogaard was a last-minute emergency call-up on Monday and opened the contest against the Los Angeles Kings by backing up Anton Forsberg. Sogaard entered in relief of Forsberg midway through the game and allowed four goals on 17 shots (.765 SV%) but salvaged an 8-7 overtime victory.

Gaudette drew into Ottawa's lineup on Monday due to a Ridly Greig injury and has been recalled again, an indication that Greig may not be ready to return to the lineup. Gaudette recorded an assist in 5:36 time-on-ice in Ottawa's exhilarating 8-7 overtime win against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.

Sogaard was a last-minute emergency call-up on Monday and opened the contest against the Los Angeles Kings by backing up Anton Forsberg. Sogaard entered in relief of Forsberg midway through the game and allowed four goals on 17 shots (.765 SV%) but salvaged an 8-7 overtime victory. His reassignment to Belleville (AHL) indicates that Linus Ullmark (strain) is likely nearing his return from a one-game absence.

Gaudette drew into Ottawa's lineup on Monday due to a Ridly Greig injury but has been returned to the Belleville Senators (AHL). Gaudette recorded an assist in 5:36 time-on-ice in Ottawa's exhilarating 8-7 overtime win against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.

Ullmark did not dress in Ottawa's high-scoring 8-7 victory over Los Angeles on Monday due to a strain and is considered day-to-day as he recovers. The 31-year-old net-minder just signed a four-year, $33 million contract extension with Ottawa last Wednesday. Head Coach Travis Green said Ullmark has a possibility to be ready for the Senators' next contest on Thursday.

Ottawa is expected to be without its 22-year-old centre for "a week or two" as he recovers from an upper-body injury. Grieg is in his third NHL campaign and had yet to pick up a point in his first two appearances for the Senators' before his injury. Adam Guadette replaced him in Ottawa's lineup on Monday.

Zub played only 2:38 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game with an apparent upper-body injury. The 29-year-old hard-hitting defenseman has battled injuries the last two seasons, being limited to 53 and 69 games respectively.

Ullmark did not practice on Sunday due to what Senators' head coach Travis Green referred to as a "maintenance day," but did not dress for Monday afternoon's contest against the Los Angeles Kings. The Senators recalled Mads Sogaard and turned to Anton Forsberg as their starting netminder on Monday in the interim. The 31-year-old Ullmark signed a four-year, $33 million contract extension before the start of the season and was playing well early in his tenure with the Senators, posting a 2.58 GAA and .914 SV% in two contests (1-1-0).

Ridly Greig will exit the lineup on Monday due to an upper-body injury, allowing Gaudette to draw back in. Gaudette has only played three NHL games since the conclusion of the 2021-22 campaign. The 28-year-old Gaudette had a tremendous 2023-24 campaign in the AHL as a member of the Springfield Thunderbirds, posting a career-high 71 points (44G / 27A) in 67 games.

With Linus Ullmark sidelined, the Senators will turn to Forsberg in the crease for his first start of the season. The 31-year-old Forsberg has battled injuries the last two seasons, limiting him to only 58 total appearances (26-23-2), and has been inconsistent when called upon in that stretch, posting a pedestrian 3.24 GAA and .896 SV%. The Senators enter action on Monday with even -105 odds at home versus the Los Angeles Kings.

With Grieg out of the lineup on Monday due to an upper-body injury, Adam Gaudette will draw into the lineup for the Senators. The 22-year-old Grieg has been held off the scoresheet in his first two games this season, recording a -2 plus/minus while averaging 14:03 time-on-ice.

Despite Senators head coach Travis Green referring to Linus Ullmark's absence from practice on Sunday as a "maintenance day," Sogard was recalled from the Belleville Senators (AHL) on an emergency basis. The 23-year-old Sogard was off to a terrific start with Belleville, posting a 0.92 GAA and .964 SV% after one game (1-0-0). That said, if Ullmark is unable to play, Ottawa will likely turn to Anton Forsberg between the pipes on Monday against the Los Angeles Kings.

Ullmark stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Senators win over the Panthers on Thursday. He is expected to make a second straight start Saturday in Montreal, who are 1-1-0 in their first two games. The Senators are -155 road favourites.
