Linus Ullmark will start on his bobblehead day after all.

Travis Green told media before the game that Ullmark will make his third straight start in goal when the Ottawa Senators meet the San Jose Sharks on Sunday evening at Canadian Tire Centre. 

Ullmark is coming off a 23-save shutout against the Ducks on Saturday afternoon.

“He played well last night, more than 24 hours [in between games], he feels good to go back in,” explained Green.

The Sens have won three straight meetings against the Sharks, who defeated the Canadiens Saturday night in Montreal.

 “Yeah, they played last night, but they’re a young team, they’ll be ready to go, the game’s as important for them as it is for us,” said Green.

“Couple hour difference isn’t a huge thing. Really, for us, just playing our game. Little bit of a similarity in teams, young team, very offensive minded. Got a lot of guys that can play fast, we’re going to have to play on our toes tonight and play quick.”

The Faceoff

Tim Stützle is riding an eight-game point streak against the Sharks heading into Sunday’s game against San Jose at Canadian Tire Centre. The only time Stützle has been held off the scoresheet against the Sharks came in his first game against San Jose on Oct. 21, 2021. Since then, Stützle has collected five goals and 11 assists for 16 points in that span.

Ullmark is one of only four goalies in NHL history to win each of his first eight games against San Jose. Ullmark is 8-0-0 against San Jose, with a .925 save percentage and 2.14 GAA.

The Sharks have won two of three games on their road trip through the Atlantic, 4-2 decisions over Boston and Montreal. They conclude their five-game road trip on Tuesday night in Edmonton.
