This move gave them the cap flexibility to activate star goaltender Linus Ullmark, leaving them with $105,000 in LTIR cap space.<\/p><p>In addition, the team sent goaltender Leevi Merilainen back to the minors, signaling that Ullmark is close to returning from his back injury, which has kept him out for the past 18 games. According to TSN&rsquo;s Bruce Garrioch and the NHL media site, Ullmark has officially been activated from LTIR. He could make his return as soon as Monday when Ottawa faces Nashville.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ITS A <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SENS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#SENS<\/a> GAMEDAY!!!<br><br>Ottawa looks to make it FIVE WINS in a row as they take on the Predators in Nashville!<br><br>Do we see Linus Ullmark return to the net? &#128064; <br><br>It&rsquo;s also the lone game in the NHL tonight.

Serving as the backup to Anton Forsberg, Merilainen appeared in 12 games, earning an impressive 8-3-1 record with a .925 save percentage. If he doesn&rsquo;t play in any more NHL games this season, his.925 save percentage would rank as the sixth-highest in Senators history for a goalie with at least 10 games played. He&rsquo;d join an elite group featuring standout seasons from Craig Anderson, Andrew Hammond, Robin Lehner, Ron Tugnutt, and Dominik Hasek.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/blue-jackets-kirill-marchenko-sidelined-with-broken-jaw\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Blue Jackets Kirill Marchenko Sidelined With Broken Jaw<\/a><\/strong><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" class=\"trk-cta-img\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Image\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}' rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/e48da6fef5344aa5871b51fe32a9580a-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16964\"><\/a><\/figure><p>Now, Merilainen will return to the AHL&rsquo;s Belleville Senators, where he started the season as their top goalie. Before his NHL call-up, he had a strong 7-2-4 record with a .901 save percentage in 13 games. His return is much needed, as Belleville has struggled in his absence, with their current goaltenders posting save percentages below .890. Merilainen is expected to reclaim the starting role and stabilize the crease. If he continues his stellar play, he may force Ottawa to reconsider its NHL backup options.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, Ullmark is set to take back the starting job in Ottawa. The Senators have been in desperate need of consistent goaltending, and acquiring the former Vezina Trophy winner this summer has already proven to be a smart move. Before his injury, Ullmark posted a solid 12-7-2 record with a .915 save percentage in 23 games, silencing doubts about his ability to perform in a more challenging environment.<\/p><p>With Ullmark returning, the Senators will aim to keep building on their recent momentum, as they&rsquo;ve gone 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. His steady presence in the net could be the key to extending their hot streak.<\/p><p>Image Credit: Perry Nelson-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post mm-layout-slot4\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senators activate Ullmark from LTIR, sending Merilainen to AHL after his impressive stint.
