Recently the Ottawa Senators are starting to look like all of their pieces are finally coming together, as they have been one of the best teams in the league as of late.
Despite a rough start to the year the Ottawa Senators are actually looking like contenders right now.
Fans held their breath after Linus Ullmark left the game on Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers, as Ullmark has been a big part of their success of late, and if Ullmark is out long-term it could ruin their playoff hopes.
The Senators announced that Linus Ullmark would not return to the game due to an upper-body injury, and fans were worried.
Travis Green issued an update on the star goaltender, and it seems like the injury will not be long-term which is great for the Senators. Green's comments made it seem like Ullmark leaving the game was just due to precautionary measures more than anything.
Following their 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, Green spoke to the media regarding Ullmark's injury and revealed more of the specifics on why he ended up leaving the game.
This is all Green had to say on the situation, and now time will tell if this is a lengthy injury or was just more of a precautionary measure the team took to avoid a big injury.
Linus Ullmark is the reason the Senators are sitting in a playoff spot right now, and is currently riding a seven game winning streak. This season Ullmark has put up some impressive numbers for the Senators with a 2.38 goals against average, and a .915 save percentage over his last 23 appearances this season.
Ullmark currently has a record of 12-7-2 with three shutouts.
