Senators' Goalie Linus Ullmark Sidelined with Illness: James Reimer Steps Up
The Ottawa Senators faced a setback as their top goalie, Linus Ullmark, was unable to play in their game against the Philadelphia Flyers due to flu-like symptoms. James Reimer stepped in as the starting goalie for the Senators. Ullmark had been performing well in his recent games, with a 1.50 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage. The Senators recalled Hunter Shepard from their AHL affiliate to serve as the backup goalie for Reimer. Despite the absence of Ullmark, the Senators are determined to make a push for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They will resume their season against the Detroit Red Wings after the Winter Olympic break.
