Senators red-hot goaltender Linus Ullmark suffered an injury during yesterday's game against the Oilers, and Travis Green provided a post-game update on it.

Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark left the game before the second period with a back injury and didn't return. The 31-year-old netminder has been one of the NHL's hottest goalies and was just named one of the league's "Three Stars" for the week of Dec. 9 to Dec. 16.

Things have been going pretty darn well for the Ottawa Senators as of late with the Sens starting to look like a team that is putting the pieces together, perhaps even enough to transform themselves into a potential playoff contender after a rough start to the 2024-25 National Hockey League regular season.

The Senators’ emergency goaltender was Zach Dietz, a University of Ottawa backup, but he wasn’t on the ice for warmup. Dietz was at the game with his girlfriend and was wearing a No. 9 Josh Norris jersey before he was called into service.

This may be a huge loss for the Ottawa Senators if it proves to be anything even remotely serious. The Senators have officially announced that star goaltender Linus Ullmark will not return to tonight’s game against the Edmonton Oilers after he suffered an upper-body injury during the course of the game.
