OTTAWA — Family has always been Linus Ullmark’s top priority, and seeing how easily they settled in Ottawa made him realize he’d found the right place.
Ullmark and his family will officially call the nation’s capital home after the star goaltender signed a four-year contract extension with the Senators worth an average annual value of $8.25 million, keeping him with the team through the 2028-29 season.
“Once we actually made this step towards finalizing the deal, it felt like everything kind of came into place, not just for me as a father, but also for my kids and my wife as well,” he said. “So, we’re very fortunate, very happy to just stand before you here today.” Ullmark, the 2023 Vezina Trophy winner, brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record to a Senators team looking to establish itself as a playoff contender. His ability to steal games and perform under pressure will be crucial as Ottawa’s young core continues to develop and improve its defensive structure under Travis Green.
The team has struggled to find consistency in goal since Craig Anderson's departure in 2020, having gambled and lost with the signings of Matt Murray, Cam Talbot, and most recently Joonas Korpisalo.
