Boston Bruins face a setback as goaltender Linus Ullmark is sidelined week-to-week with a back injury, impacting their lineup depth.
Ottawa Senators netminder Linus Ullmark is sidelined week-to-week due to a back injury, head coach Travis Green revealed Sunday, according to The Athletic’s Julian McKenzie.
Due to the injury, Ullmark has already sat out the last four games against the Senators. Ottawa secured one win – a 3-1 result against the Minnesota Wild—but lost the other three in regulation. The 2023 Vezina Trophy recipient last competed on December 22 versus the Edmonton Oilers. He was replaced after the first period due to back stiffness.

Green later stated that Ullmark probably wouldn’t accompany the team on its five-game road trip following the holiday break. Ottawa’s journey will wrap up with the Tuesday match against the Detroit Red Wings. Ullmark had been on a roll before becoming injured, winning his last seven games with a .967 save percentage and a 0.99 goals-against average.
Green also revealed on Sunday that defenseman Travis Hamonic will be sidelined for two to four weeks due to a lower-body injury. On Sunday, the Senators ranked fifth in the Atlantic Division with a record of 19-17-2.
