The Senators needed Ullmark to improve on his effort in Game 1. He allowed six goals on 24 shots, which won’t win on many nights, especially in the playoffs. Ullmark came into this game with a 3- 7- 0 record in the postseason with a .877 save percentage and a 3.82 goals-against average.

But minutes after center Max Domi scored to give the Maple Leafs a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference First Round, Senators captain Brady Tkachuk stood stoic in the visitors locker room, promising that the hands of his embattled crew were steady.
