Just a few days after Christmas, Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark took a leave of absence from the team, and it didn't take long for the rumours and assumptions to start swirling. In the aftermath of a demoralizing shellacking against the Avalanche, Sens players and management were quick to stand up for Linus, as a series of tweets flared up online. And in an exclusive sit-down interview with TSN's Claire Hanna, Ullmark set the record straight. Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.
