Andrew Hammond's arrival in Ottawa is timely as the Senators face the San Jose Sharks amidst significant roster injuries. Key players such as Brady Tkachuk and centres Josh Norris and Shane Pinto are sidelined, impacting team depth. Goaltending remains crucial, especially with Linus Ullmark's current struggles post-injury, leading to questions about the team's decision to send Leevi Merilainen down instead of keeping him. Ullmark's disappointing performance continues to raise concerns, and he is eager to secure a win in an important match as the season progresses.
"Alright, but alright doesn't really cut it in this league," Ullmark answered frankly while responding to a question asking him to evaluate his game following last night's 4-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.
Despite significant injuries to key players, the Senators must rely on their goaltender to mitigate losses, as solid goaltending is essential even with a shorthanded roster.
