Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark returned from a monthlong personal leave Sunday and served as his team's backup during a 7-1 win over the visiting Vegas Golden Knights. Ullmark did not need to take the ice as starting goalie Mads Sogaard saved 19 of the 20 shots he faced in the runaway win.

The second period would see the Senators take advantage after the Golden Knights missed an opportunity on a 5-on-3 power play. Dylan Cozens would make good on a scoring chance with Hill well out of position to double the Ottawa lead. 18 seconds later, Jordan Spence would beat Hill clean from the point to add to the punishment.
