Senators Edge Red Wings 2-1, Ullmark Stops 48 Shots

Linus Ullmark was instrumental in leading the Ottawa Senators to a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings by making 48 saves, including tying a franchise record with 27 saves in the second period. Dylan Cozens, newly acquired from the Buffalo Sabres, scored the game-winning power-play goal with just over five minutes remaining, marking his first goal with the Senators. Despite the victory, Ottawa's performance was shaky, and they relied heavily on Ullmark's standout goaltending to secure the win. The Senators are currently holding the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference as they aim for their first playoff appearance in eight years. Meanwhile, the Red Wings have now lost six consecutive games, dropping them out of playoff contention. The game also saw debut appearances for several players recently acquired by both teams via trades.
