Ullmark led the Bruins onto the ice for warmups.

The carousel of goaltender starts continues in Boston as Ullmark takes the crease back after backing up for Boston's 5-2 loss to Detroit Friday. The 30-year-old Vezina Trophy Winner is looking to duplicate last years honour with his impressive 7-1-1 record, 2.10 GAA and .932 SV%. He draws the tough task of the New York Rangers, who have won 12 of their last 14 games and are 15th in the NHL in goals per game (3.22).

Forsberg will start against the Islanders on Friday.

Joonas Korpisalo was not present at the morning skate and as a result, Forsberg will be the starting goalie on Friday against the New York Islanders. Friday's matchup marks the Senators' first game since returning from the NHL Global Series in Sweden, where Forsberg played exceptionally well, saving 24 of 25 shots in a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild. The Senators will hope Forsberg can build off his most recent performance because he struggled immensely in his three games prior (0-3-0), allowing 13 goals on only 51 shots (.745 SV%). Forsberg and the Senators are -121 home favourites against an Islanders team that ranks third worst in the league offensively (2.56 GF / GP).
