Ullmark, 32, is 4-4-1 with an .858 save percentage and 3.44 goals-against average this season.
Washington Capitals
Forward Dylan Strome and defenceman Rasmus Sandin are both on the ice for practice in no-contact jerseys.
Strome, who is dealing with a lower-body injury, missed Tuesday’s 1-0 loss to the Dallas Stars after getting injured against the Senators on Oct. 25 that caused him to leave the game.
The 28-year-old has two goals and eight assists this season.
Dylan Strome and Rasmus Sandin both sticking around for practice. Great, great sign for the Caps.
