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.

The Ottawa Senators will be without Linus Ullmark for the immediate future. Head coach Travis Green said that Ullmark is week-to-week with a back injury.

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.

I’ve always loved writing and storytelling, and hockey gives me a perfect stage for endless stories to tell. Whether it’s breaking down a game, analyzing a big trade, or capturing the emotions on the ice, I bring the NHL to life through words. So what’s the best part you ask? Watching the action unfold and turning it into something fans can connect with. To my readers: Hockey is more than just a game—it’s the highs, the heartbreaks, and the moments that make us jump off our seats. So, keep cheering, keep debating, and never stop loving the madness of the sport!
