The Ottawa Senators have hit the road and play their first game against The Hockey Club Formerly Known As Coyotes on Tuesday night. For fans who remember the old days, an NHL road trip that rolls through Utah and then Vegas feels more than a little unorthodox.

The recently re-signed Linus Ullmark is on the shelf with injury, and the Senators have provided the latest update on his condition.

As the Senators open a three-game road trip with a visit to the Delta Center to face the Utah Hockey Club for the first time in franchise history on Tuesday, Ottawa will have top goalie Linus Ullmark back and winger Ridly Greig was a full participant in practice on Monday.

Ottawa fans have $33 million reasons to smile at new goalie Ullmark, and the good times started in the opener.

The grades are in for Linus Ullmark and the Senators after the two sides agreed to a four-year contract extension.

When Linus Ullmark signed with the Ottawa Senators for a long contract, he cited some different reasons for doing so.

The Senators acquired Ullmark in June in exchange for Joonas Korpisalo, Mark Kastelic and a 2024 first-round pick.

Ullmark’s $33 million extension has the same average annual value ($8.25 million) as the eight-year, $66 million contract his former teammate Jeremy Swayman signed earlier this week with the Bruins.

In 2017, the Ottawa Senators lost in double overtime in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final to the eventual Stanley Cup champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins. They were so close to capturing their first championship — something that eludes them to this day.

Anton Forsberg made 31 saves, Drake Batherson scored his third goal in two games and the Ottawa Senators won their first road game of the season, 4-0 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Tuesday night.
