Ullmark Returns to Practice After Leave of Absence

Linus Ullmark is back on the ice, returning to practice Friday for the Ottawa Senators for the first time since his leave of absence began Dec. 28. Ullmark's last start saw him allow four goals on 14 shots before being pulled. He holds a 14-8-5 record with a 2.95 GAA and .881 save percentage this season. His absence has contributed to the Senators' struggles, dropping them to 14th in the Eastern Conference. Ullmark could potentially return to the lineup as early as Sunday.
