Senators Sign Ullmark to Boost Goaltending

The Ottawa Senators have signed goaltender Linus Ullmark to a four-year, $33 million contract extension, with an average annual value of $8.25 million, starting in the 2025-26 season. The Senators acquired Ullmark in a trade with the Boston Bruins in June, aiming to address their goaltending challenges after a disappointing season. Ullmark, who won the Vezina Trophy in 2022-23 as the NHL's top goaltender, expressed excitement about playing in Ottawa and feeling welcomed by the community. Prior to joining the Senators, Ullmark had a successful stint with the Bruins, forming a strong goaltending tandem with Jeremy Swayman. The Senators hope Ullmark can bring leadership and stability to the team as they aim for a playoff return.
