Poised to return soon

Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman highlighted his close friendship with Linus Ullmark with a special reaction to a social media post.

Swayman and Ullmark continue to be bonded even on separate teams. The post Linus Ullmark’s family welcomes Jeremy Swayman to Ottawa with ‘Uncle Sway’ sign appeared first on Boston.com.

Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark has been sidelined for over a month with a back injury. He left a game against the Edmonton Oilers on Dec. 22 and has been out of action ever since.

Head coach Travis Green says that Jensen won't play because of an undisclosed injury, while Travis Hamonic will make his return.

Anders Lundberg, Sweden’s general manager, must quickly pivot to a new contingency plan for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Significant question marks surround the goaltending position as the injury has bitten weeks before the start of the inaugural tournament by taking out two of their top options in the crease.

Linus Ullmark traveled with the Senators for their three-game road trip that begins Sunday at the New Jersey Devils (1 p.m. ET; NHLN, RDS, TSN5, MSGSN). "He's coming on the road. ... We're still day by day,” coach Travis Green said of Ullmark following a 6-5 shootout win against the Boston Bruins on Saturday.

Korpisalo, who was sent to the Bruins in the deal that brought Linus Ullmark to Ottawa, has shown marked improvement in Boston. He has an 8-4-2 record with the Bruins, a .892 save percentage, and a 2.47 goals-against average.

Michael Finewax suggests trading for Linus Ullmark, who is close to returning to the Ottawa lineup from a back injury that has sidelined him since Dec. 22.

The Senators should trade for Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri, who could be a crucial piece to their postseason push.
