The Senators goalie started being second-guessed after he allowed six goals on 24 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference First Round. Indeed, Ottawa coach Travis Green found himself having to defend Ullmark through the first three games of the best-of-7 series, all losses.

With Linus Ullmark’s spectacular return, the Ottawa Senators have some hope in Game 6 against the Toronto Maple Leafs. If he could withstand the pressure with his sharp positioning, Ullmark might force even a Game 7.
