<strong>Linus Ullmark<\/strong>, has recently proved the Ottawa Senators made the right call when inking a four-year extension with him earlier in the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 31-year-old played a pivotal role in Ottawa&#8217;s season-opening <em>3-1<\/em> win against the proud defenders of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/hockey\/odds\">Stanley Cup<\/a>, the Florida Panthers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ullmark managed 30 saves on Thursday in his debut for the club<\/strong> (not quite the same level as <strong><a

adrenaline-filled, sold-out crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The home opener also featured a fanfare that delayed the start, giving Ullmark a well-deserved warm welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senators\u2019 fans were heard chanting Ullmark\u2019s name midway through the third period, in support of his excellent performance on the ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

recent years, the Senators (<em>1-0-0<\/em>) are relying on Ullmark to bring the much-needed stability that has eluded the organization over the past four seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ottawa provided early support for their goaltender, jumping to a 2-0 lead in the first period thanks to a laser to the top corner by <strong>Shane Pinto<\/strong>, who beat Sergei Bobrovsky with an impressive effort, and a power-play goal by <strong>Tim Stutzle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latter also added an empty netter to secure the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bobrovsky made 28 saves, while Gustav Forsling was the lone Panther (1-1-0) to find the back of the net against Ullmark, benefiting from a screen to get his point shot through in the second period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the scoreboard reading 2-1 at the start of the third, the Panthers applied heavy pressure and pinned the Senators in their zone for almost two minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <strong>Ullmark stood tall, making key saves on Mackie Samoskevich and Carter Verhaeghe<\/strong>, which prompted chants of his name from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the Panthers\u2019 evolution, Ullmark commented on their ability to keep \u201c<em>grinding away<\/em>\u201c and not get frustrated, \u201c<em>even if they\u2019re down<\/em>\u201d, which has helped them be so successful,\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>So, it\u2019s a special win, definitely.<\/em>\u201d, the goaltender added while commenting that while he \u201c<em>wouldn\u2019t say there\u2019s bad blood<\/em>\u201d against the Panthers, the fact that they beat him twice in the playoffs makes playing them enjoyable.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>There\u2019s a lot of fun playing the very best of the teams in the league, and there\u2019s an opportunity for you to rise to the occasion<\/em>\u201d, he further said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"they-played-hard\">\u201cThey Played Hard\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Panthers head coach <strong>Paul Maurice<\/strong> was not thrilled about his team\u2019s start, he appreciated the way they responded after the first period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>They played hard<\/em>\u201d, said Maurice who, at age 43, became the youngest coach in the history of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betting.ca\/hockey\/nhl\">NHL<\/a> to coach 1,000 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The head coach also praised the Panthers\u2019 fast speed, adding they played \u201c<em>real hard<\/em>\u201d and<em> \u201cthey deserved a
