Linus Ullmark did not dress for Ottawa’s game in Detroit on Tuesday, October 6, a day after leaving the Senators’ 4-1 win in Boston.

Samuel Ersson started for Ottawa with Jonas Johansson serving as backup, according to the NHL’s game record.

Sportsnet reported that coach Travis Green described Monday’s removal as precautionary following a collision with Bruins forward J.J. Peterka.

Ersson also played the third period of Monday’s win. Green’s explanation of Ullmark’s exit is included in TSP’s postgame reaction report.
