Shepard was loaned to AHL Belleville on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Shepard was recalled Thursday, as Linus Ullmark was unable to dress due to an illness. Shepard backed up James Reimer in a 2-1 overtime win in Philadelphia. Shepard has played one game at the NHL level this season, allowing two goals on 12 shots in a 5-3 loss to Detroit on Jan. 5.

Shepard was recalled from AHL Belleville on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Shepard was sent to the AHL in late January, but he'll rejoin the Senators ahead of their final game before the Olympic break since Linus Ullmark (illness) will be unavailable. James Reimer will serve as the starter during Thursday's road matchup against Philadelphia, while Shepard will serve as the backup before presumably returning to the minors.

Shepard was assigned to AHL Belleville on Sunday, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

EDGE Analysis

Shepard's only NHL action so far this season came in relief against Detroit on Jan. 5, when he allowed two goals on 12 shots in 35:47 of playing time. He has a 6-6-1 record with a 3.45 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 13 AHL appearances this campaign.

Shepard was recalled from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Shepard will swap places with Leevi Merilainen, who was sent down to the minors in a corresponding move. The 30-year-old Shepard has seen action in just one NHL game this year, allowing two goals on 12 shots in a relief outing versus the Red Wings on Jan. 5. Shepard is poised to serve as the backup to James Reimer for Tuesday's matchup with Columbus.

Shepard was loaned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After serving as Leevi Merilainen's backup for two games, Shepard will head back to the AHL to make room for James Reimer, who signed a one-year deal with Ottawa on Monday. In 12 appearances with Belleville this season, Shepard has a 5-6-1 record with a 3.41 GAA and an .897 save percentage. His stats at both levels make him a tough option to trust in fantasy if he receives another call-up to the NHL later this year.

Shepard was summoned from AHL Belleville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Shepard will back up Leevi Merilainen on Saturday versus Florida. Shepard was credited with the loss in his only NHL appearance this season, allowing two goals on 12 shots Monday in relief of Merilainen. The Senators sent Mads Sogaard to AHL Belleville in a corresponding move.

Shepard was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Shepard made a relief appearance against the Red Wings on Monday, stopping 10 of 12 shots in a loss, but will now be headed back down to the minors in favor of Mads Sogaard, who was recalled in a corresponding move. Given the organizational depth in goal, the 30-year-old Shepard doesn't figure to make enough NHL appearances this year to make him fantasy relevant.

Shepard halted 10 of 12 shots on goal in Monday's 5-3 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Shepard entered Monday's contest in relief of Leevi Merilainen, who allowed three goals in the first period. Shepard played decently in his first taste of NHL action this season, but he still picked up the loss when he surrendered Lucas Raymond's go-ahead goal in the second period. The 30-year-old netminder could see a handful of starts in the absence of Linus Ullmark (personal), but expectations in fantasy should be tempered with Ottawa's crease as a whole moving forward.

Shepard was recalled from AHL Belleville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Shepard has a 5-5-1 record with a 3.16 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 11 minor-league appearances this season. He will probably serve as Leevi Merilainen's backup in Monday's home matchup against Columbus due to the absence of Linus Ullmark (personal).

Shepard was assigned to AHL Belleville on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Senators recalled Leevi Merilainen from the minors in a corresponding move. Shepard has appeared in two games this season as Ottawa's backup goalie, including Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Montreal, but he hasn't had any NHL action yet.
