Ullmark will start in Anaheim on Thursday.

Ullmark has been subpar to start the 2025-26 season, but has been much better lately, posting a 2.00 GAA and .918 SV% in his last three games (1-1-1). The 32-year-old Swedish goalie returns to the crease on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks, looking to improve his 3.08 GAA and .874 SV% through 15 games this season (6-5-4). The Senators enter Thursday's contest as -125 road favorites against a Ducks team that played last night and defeated the Boston Bruins 4-3.

Tkachuk (thumb) skated on Friday and will join Ottawa on their road trip.

Tkachuk suffered an injury in the third game of the season, underwent thumb surgery, and has been sidelined since. The Senators Captain is almost five weeks into his original 6-8 week recovery timeline and will be joining the team on their upcoming seven-game road trip. The 26-year-old Tkachuk scored points (0G / 3A) through three games this season prior to his injury.
