Goaltender Ullmark not hurrying into long-term commitment with Sens

Ullmark, who was acquired Monday from the Boston Bruins in exchange for goalie Joonas Korpisalo, centre Mark Kastelic and the 25th first-round pick in Friday’s NHL entry draft, is in the final year of his four-year, US$20-million contract.

“The priority right now is to have Linus in with our group and have him comfortable and get him to know what the Ottawa Senators are all about moving forward,” said Staios.Ullmark was more forthcoming when he talked about what he can do for the Senators next season. “Winning is very hard in this league and something that shouldn’t be taken for granted,” said Ullmark. “That’s why I always try to have a smile on my face. I try to bring a good attitude, try to bring effort every single day and then, you know, see what happens down the road.”

Korpisalo was supposed to be the answer in goal after Dorion’s failed experiments with Matt Murray and Cam Talbot, but he failed to live up to expectations going 21-26-4 with a 3.27 goals-against average and .890 save percentage in 55 regular-season games.
