Ullmark will draw the road Opening Night assignment in goal against Tampa Bay on Thursday, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

Ullmark solidified Ottawa's netminding in 2024-25 after an offseason trade from Boston. He was 25-14-3 with four shutouts, a 2.72 GAA and a .909 save percentage. He will likely play 45-50 games this season, as the Senators are quite high on young goaltender Leevi Merilainen.
