Ullmark leading Senators with dream-like start to season - Sportsnet.ca

OTTAWA — Eight games is a small sample size but there’s no denying the Ottawa Senators are playing with confidence. The Senators improved to 6-2-0 after posting a 2-1 shootout win over the New York Islanders Thursday night. Perhaps most impressive, and not coincidental, is the play of Linus Ullmark who is 6-0 on the season with a .949 save percentage. Going back to last year, Ullmark is riding a 10-game winning streak. When mentioned to Ullmark, he shook his head as though it was strange to string wins from two seasons together. However, he said he’s feeling pretty good but still has a few things to clean up. “It’s always a battle every night,” admitted Ullmark. “Always a grind. Good players, good teams can’t really relax at any point during the game and that’s why I say it’s up and down.”It’s a far cry from the goaltender who started last season looking like he was battling every puck. Ullmark was 2-3-1 after six games last season having allowed 23 goals. He’s given up seven so far.
