Linus Ullmark recently left the Senators, and with rumours swirling, Tim Stutzle revealed the supportive message that he gave the veteran.
The Ottawa Senators entered 2025/26 with immense optimism, but thus far, the team has struggled for consistency as they currently sit in last place in the highly competitive Atlantic Division.
Now, they're dealing with much more, as the team has been surrounded by shocking rumours in recent days, rumours so strong that Elliotte Friedman has suggested it could cause some players to want out.
Tim Stutzle reveals support for goaltender Linus Ullmark
One player that was named in that rumour was goaltender Linus Ullmark, who recently took a leave of absence from the team, although it has been confirmed that the two things were not related.
Now, star forward Tim Stutzle has confirmed it is mental health related, as the talented forward has revealed the message that he gave to Ullmark following his departure from the team.
I texted him right after when he left the team for something completely different. Which we don't even have to get into, it's something mental health related. Everybody knows that out there. I texted him. Just told him that we all support him for whatever he's been going through. - Tim Stutzle
Clearly, this is a very close group in Ottawa, and given what Ullmark is clearly going through, it's likely going to mean a lot to hear the support from someone like Stutzle.
Ultimately though, we may never know exactly what it is that Ullmark is going through, and along with the support of the team, the organization, and his close family and friends, we hope he's back on the ice for Ottawa soon.
