Ottawa Senators

Goaltender Linus Ullmark will be back between the pipes Thursday night against the Colorado Avalanche, head coach Travis Green told reporters after the morning skate.
Postmedia's Bruce Garrioch notes that Ullmark did not skate Thursday but did put in a lengthy session the day before.
He has not played since Oct. 21 due to a lower-body injury.
Ullmark had been solid prior to going down with a goals-against average of 1.33 and a save percentage of .945 in eight games so far this season.
Meanwhile, Garrioch also reports that forward Nick Cousins was not on the ice Thursday morning.
Cousins was forced out of Tuesday's game against the Washington Capitals after taking a big hit from Jakob Chychrun along the boards.
Green told reporters Wednesday that Cousins was briefly knocked unconscious by the hit and is expected to be out between seven and 10 days.
