The Ottawa Senators are in search of a dependable backup goaltender, and several veteran options may be on their radar. With the emergence of Jeremy Swayman as a viable starter for the Boston Bruins, the Senators could look to target Swayman’s current backup, Linus Ullmark. Ullmark has demonstrated stability and skill, making him an attractive choice for the Senators, who seek to strengthen their defensive lineup behind a competent goalie.

Another name to consider is Jake Allen from the Montreal Canadiens. With a wealth of experience, Allen could provide the Senators with the reassurance they need in net. His ability to perform well under pressure and maintain composure during high-stakes games makes him a perfect candidate to support the team’s playoff aspirations.

Lastly, the Senators might explore the option of acquiring James Reimer from the San Jose Sharks. Reimer has consistently been a reliable goaltender throughout his career and has faced numerous playoff challenges. His experience and resilience would add valuable depth to Ottawa's net, potentially helping them to secure pivotal wins in tight match-ups.
