Linus Ullmark‘s return to the starter’s net will have to wait.
James Reimer will get the crease for the Ottawa Senators‘ tilt against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday, Sportsnet’s Alex Adams reported.
Ullmark, meanwhile, will back up for a second straight game upon his return from personal leave, which began Dec. 29.
Live coverage of the game will be on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 p.m. PT.
The veteran Reimer, 37, holds an .871 save percentage and 3.32 goals-against average in four starts for the Senators since signing with the team earlier in January. Reimer has a 1-2-1 record in that span.
Ullmark has struggled to a 14-8-5 record with an .881 save percentage and 2.95 goals-against average this season.
Mads Sogaard, who started for the Senators in Sunday’s 7-1 thrashing of the Vegas Golden Knights, and Leevi Merilainen — the two other goalies to appear for Ottawa this season — are both currently with AHL Belleville.
Ullmark’s next opportunity to return to game action — barring a relief appearance Wednesday — will come Saturday when the Senators host the New Jersey Devils on Hockey Night in Canada.
