- This season Ullmark is 14-8-5 with a 2.95 goals-against average and an.881 save percentage, and he was pulled Saturday after allowing four goals on 14 shots.

- Absent Ullmark, the Senators said `Linus has the full support of our organization` and provided no further comments, as Staios added he has their full backing.
