• After two on-ice sessions, Linus Ullmark called his start to Ottawa’s camp “terrible” while noting it is still early.
• Head coach Travis Green said Ullmark has been fine and indicated he remains the projected starter who will play a lot of games.
• Ullmark trained in northern Sweden and spent a focused week with goalie coach Justin Peters to fine-tune details before camp.
• The goaltender is coming off a career-low .910 save percentage across 44 games in his first full season with Ottawa and now carries an $8.25 million cap hit.
• Around the league, Wild prospect Zeev Buium missed practice with an upper-body issue that John Hynes said was not concerning, and Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill said Matt Grzelcyk’s PTO likely turns on whether young defensemen prove NHL-ready.
