Linus Ullmark Nearing Return
3 mins agoAccording to Bruce Garrioch of TSN, Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark (back) is nearing a return and could return during their next homestand on Thursday or Saturday. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since suffering this injury on December 22. Before the injury, Ullmark began to turn the corner on a slow start as he was riding a perfect seven-game winning streak with a .967% SV and a 0.99 GAA. While sidelined, Leevi Merilainen has taken over the Ottawa crease and performed quite well. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Ullmark's status leading up to their game against the Capitals on Thursday or the Wild on Saturday, as he could make his return. However, given Merilainen's excellent play as of late, fantasy managers should expect both of them to share the crease for the foreseeable future.
