As the Senators concluded their season, goaltending was a key topic, particularly the struggles of Linus Ullmark and Leevi Merilainen that hindered their playoff chances. GM Steve Staios acknowledged misjudgments in their goaltending strategy, admitting they failed to properly support Ullmark and underestimated Merilainen’s readiness. Despite a rocky season, Ullmark excelled in the playoffs, prompting Staios to emphasize the need for better support next season, possibly through a platoon approach. James Reimer’s future with the team remains uncertain as he reflects on his time in Ottawa.
