In a stunning late development, goaltender Linus Ullmark has officially signed with the Detroit Red Wings, just moments after terminating his contract with the Ottawa Senators. The unexpected move marks a major shake-up in the NHL goaltending landscape and has left fans from both franchises buzzing.
Ullmark, who joined Ottawa following a strong stint with the Boston Bruins, was seen as a key part of the Senators’ future in net. However, sources confirm that the Swedish netminder requested a release earlier today to pursue what he called a “new challenge worth a shot.” The Red Wings acted swiftly, offering a multi-year deal rumored to be in the range of $18 million.
The 30-year-old Vezina Trophy contender now joins a Detroit squad that’s aggressively rebuilding its roster in hopes of returning to playoff contention. Ullmark’s arrival immediately strengthens the team’s goaltending depth and sends a clear message: the Red Wings are ready to contend.
Ottawa is now left scrambling to fill a crucial void between the pipes ahead of the upcoming season.
