Former Sabres Star Goalie Sidelined By New Injury

During the off-season, former Buffalo Sabres goalie Linus Ullmark was traded by the Boston Bruins to the Ottawa Senators. The star goalie is now a crucial part of the Senators’ roster as they look to finally become a playoff team again. Ullmark now being with the Sens is certainly not the best news for the Sabres, as Ottawa is a division rival on the rise.

Unfortunately for Ottawa, Ullmark is dealing with a new injury. Before the Senators’ game today (Oct. 14) against the Los Angeles Kings, the Atlantic Division club recalled goalie Mads Sogaard on an emergency basis. In addition, Ullmark did not dress for the Senators’ matchup against the Kings.

Senators head coach Travis Green provided an update on Ullmark’s current issues, saying: “Linus was stiff (Sunday). We don’t feel right playing him. We want to check him out further with our doctors, and we want to err on the side of caution.”

The Sabres selected Ullmark with the 163rd overall pick of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. In 117 games over six seasons with the Sabres, Ullmark had a 50-47-13 record, a .912 save percentage, and a 2.78 goals-against average. His time with Buffalo ended when he signed with the Bruins during the 2021 NHL off-season.
