Maybe. Or, as Senators fans may prefer, hopefully. Ullmark, who is battling some kind of muscle strain — National Hockey League teams aren’t always forthcoming in injury matters — hasn’t played since a 4-1 loss in Montreal nearly two weeks ago.

The recently re-signed Linus Ullmark is on the shelf with injury, and the Senators have provided the latest update on his condition.

Utah is down two important defensemen they picked up in the off-season. Sean Durzi will miss four to five months after suffering an upper-body injury against New Jersey last week. John Marino is also out long-term after suffering an upper-body injury in training camp.
