Ullmark stopped 23 of 25 shots in Saturday's preseason win over the Canadiens.
Shane Pinto scored twice in the first six minutes of the first period en route to a hat trick, and Ullmark made sure Montreal never got level in a 4-2 win. The veteran netminder won't enjoy the same kind of stingy defense he played behind in Boston, but as Ottawa's unquestioned No. 1 in the crease, Ullmark should also top the career-high 49 games played he recorded in the 2022-23 regular season, which should help make up for any regression in his GAA and save percentage.
