Linus Ullmark injury might not be too bad, expert weighs in

Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark suffered a lower-body injury during a 5-1 win over the Florida Panthers and was placed on injured reserve. Ullmark exited in the third period after stopping 18 shots. Medical expert Dr. Harjas Grewal suggested the issue might be a groin strain, potentially keeping the netminder out of action for around two weeks rather than a prolonged absence.

SenShot notes that placing Ullmark on injured reserve allowed Ottawa to recall goaltender Jonas Johansson from the AHL's Belleville Senators. Writer Nestor Quixtan emphasizes that Ullmark's absence presents a significant challenge for the Atlantic Division leaders, who will now rely on Johansson and Samuel Ersson in net.
