Linus Ullmark Returns From Lower-Body Injury to Face Avalanche

Ottawa Senators netminder Linus Ullmark will return to the crease on Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche after missing nine games with a lower-body injury. Prior to his Oct. 21 injury, the 33-year-old was off to a dominant start, going 7-1-0 with a career-best 1.33 GAA and .945 save percentage. With his activation, Ullmark is expected to reclaim the primary starting workload moving forward.
