SENATORS 2, RED WINGS 1
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Linus Ullmark demonstrated why Ottawa Senators traded for him last year as the gifted netminder turned away 48 shots on Monday night in a win over Detroit.
Ullmark, making his eighth consecutive start, was at his best in the second period when he stopped all 27 shots he faced, tying a franchise record.
Dylan Cozens scored his first as a Senator, and David Perron also scored.
Dylan Larkin beat Ullmark short side in the third period. Cam Talbot made 21 saves for the Red Wings.
