The Ottawa Senators’ goaltender, Linus Ullmark, was granted a temporary leave for “personal matters,” as disclosed by the team on Sunday.
Through an official statement, Steve Staios, the president of hockey operations and general manager, refrained from detailing the specifics of Ullmark’s departure, but affirmed that he had the “complete backing of our franchise throughout this period.”
“To honor Linus’s privacy, we will refrain from issuing any additional remarks,” Staios stated.
This season, Ullmark, who is 32 years old, has secured 14 victories across 28 appearances, maintaining a 2.95 goals against average and an .881 save percentage.
His most recent performance was on Saturday, during the team’s 7-5 defeat by the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he conceded four goals from 14 shots.
The Senators are scheduled to return to play on Monday, facing the Columbus Blue Jackets.
