The Ottawa Senators are getting their top goaltender back Thursday night against Colorado.

Linus Ullmark had been putting up some of the best numbers in the NHL before he was hurt on Oct, 21, missing nine games.

His .945 save percentage and 1.33 goals-against average leads the league and he’s only been tagged with one loss in eight starts.

The team said Thursday morning Ullmark is expected to return. Sam Ersson remains as the other part of Ottawa’s goaltending tandem.

The Senators have 11 wins and 24 points over 19 games, putting them in a playoff spot as they near the one-quarter mark of the season.
