The Senators are taking a cautious approach with their number one goalie's return to play, giving Samuel Ersson another start and another chance build on his recent success.
The Ottawa Senators have recalled goaltender Jackson Parsons from the AHL's Belleville Senators while opting to delay the return of starter Linus Ullmark. Ullmark recently resumed full practice participation and was activated from injured reserve, but the team is taking a cautious approach. Samuel Ersson will make another start in goal on Tuesday night against the Washington Capitals, with Parsons serving as his backup.
Ersson enters Tuesday seeking his fourth consecutive victory, having conceded only four goals across his last three starts. Parsons, a 21-year-old native of Embrun, has posted a 4-3-1 record with a 2.64 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage in Belleville this season. Ullmark has been sidelined since sustaining a lower-body injury on October 21 against the Florida Panthers.
