Ottawa Senators head coach Travis Green shares update on the injury to star goaltender Linus Ullmark.

Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark left the game before the second period with a back injury and didn't return. The 31-year-old netminder has been one of the NHL's hottest goalies and was just named one of the league's "Three Stars" for the week of Dec. 9 to Dec. 16.

Ironically, the young Finnish goalie got the start against the Canucks, in part, because the Sens wanted to reduce the risk of the veteran Ullmark getting hurt in a back-to-back scenario. Ullmark was briefly shelved by injury back in October.

As per the Ottawa Senators, “Linus Ullmark sustained an upper-body injury during tonight’s game against the Edmonton Oilers. He will not return to action this evening.” The update does not give any indication as to the severity of Ullmak’s injury,

Ottawa Senators’ goaltender Linus Ullmark left Sunday’s game against the Edmonton Oilers with an upper-body injury, with the club announcing on social media that he would not return.

This may be a huge loss for the Ottawa Senators if it proves to be anything even remotely serious. The Senators have officially announced that star goaltender Linus Ullmark will not return to tonight’s game against the Edmonton Oilers after he suffered an upper-body injury during the course of the game.
