The Ottawa Senators are getting their top goalie back soon.
Linus Ullmark has been removed from the team's injured reserve list and placed back on the roster on Sunday, signalling he may be ready to return to play.
In a corresponding move, Jonas Johansson was sent back down to the AHL.
Ullmark left a game against the Florida Panthers on Oct. 21 with a lower-body strain after he stopped a hard shot from former teammate Brady Tkachuk.
The goaltender was expected to miss one to two weeks with injury. It marked the second time the 33-year-old has been pulled from the net because of injury this season.
Ullmark has a 7-1-0 record on the season with a 1.33 goals-against average and a .945 save percentage.
The Senators (11-6-1) get back to action Tuesday against the Washington Capitals.
