Ullmark upgraded to day-to-day
Linus Ullmark (back) has been upgraded to day-to-day and will accompany the Senators on their three-game road trip that begins Sunday in New Jersey. Ullmark is not guaranteed to play during the trip, but it appears he’s getting closer after being considered week-to-week since early January. He has already missed 11 consecutive contests. Once Ullmark returns, the Senators will have a tough decision to make, as Leevi Merilainen has outplayed Anton Forsberg during Ullmark’s absence.
Allen stops 15-of-17 shots in loss
Jake Allen stopped 15 of 17 shots in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Philadelphia. The third goal was an empty-netter. At the 12:44 mark of the third period, Allen allowed the game-winner to Bobby Brink during a Philadelphia power play. The 34-year-old Allen has lost his last six outings to drop to 5-8-1 this season. Jacob Markstrom will probably start Sunday’s home matchup versus Ottawa in the second half of New Jersey’s back-to-back.
Senators vs. Devils Betting Prediction
Take the under. The under is 1-8-1 in the Senators’ last 10 games. They’ve held their opposition to two or fewer goals in four out of their last five contests. On the other side, the under cashed in eight out of the Devils’ last 10 games. New Jersey has scored three or fewer goals in 10 straight games and two or fewer goals in seven out of its last 10 contests.
Senators vs. Devils Prediction: UNDER 5.5
