The Senators goalie started being second-guessed after he allowed six goals on 24 shots in a 6-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference First Round. Indeed, Ottawa coach Travis Green found himself having to defend Ullmark through the first three games of the best-of-7 series, all losses.

Linus Ullmark is beginning to find his form as he led the Senators to a Game 5 victory over the Maple Leafs with a shutout.

If the Senators want to complete their audacious comeback from 3-0, they're going to need a Vezina-worthy performance from Ullmark.
