Linus Ullmark Out Thursday with Flu-Like Symptoms, Expected Back Post-Break

Linus Ullmark has been ruled out for Thursday's road game against Philadelphia due to flu-like symptoms. He had recently returned from a 14-game absence in late January, securing wins in both of his two starts since, posting an impressive 1.50 GAA and .930 save percentage during that time. Ullmark will be unavailable for the Ottawa Senators' final game before the Olympic break, with James Reimer drawing the start. Hunter Shepard was called up to provide additional depth. Ullmark is presumably expected to return when the Senators resume play Feb. 26 against Detroit.
