The 32-year-old goaltender hasn’t played a game for the Senators since Dec. 27 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, when he was pulled after allowing four goals on 14 shots in a 7-5 loss.
Ullmark said his mental health struggles date back to when he was traded to Ottawa from Boston in June 2024, and that those struggles weren’t “dealt with in the right way,” leading to issues “piling” on. Ullmark also mentioned being familiar with depression and sadness since his father’s passing in January 2021. The Toronto game last month, Ullmark said, was the tipping point.
