Goaltender Linus Ullmark impresses in Ottawa Senators debut
OTTAWA — Linus Ullmark couldn’t have made a better first impression.
The Senators new goaltender, fresh off signing a four-year extension earlier this week, was instrumental in Ottawa’s season opening 3-1 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Thursday.
Ullmark made 30 saves in his Ottawa debut in front of a sold-out Canadian Tire Centre that was chanting his name midway through the third period.
After a disastrous string of failed goaltender signings in the past, the Senators (1-0-0) are counting on Ullmark to provide the highly-sought after stability that has eluded the organization the past four years.
