Goalie Start
Ullmark will start Friday vs. the Canadiens.
Ullmark allowed one goal on 13 shots after replacing Chad Johnson in the Sabres 4-1 loss to the Coyotes on Wednesday. In three NHL appearances this season, Ullmark has posted a 2.40 GAA and .933 SV% and makes for a decent spot-start option tonight vs. the visiting Canadiens—Montreal has lost four in a row and nine of their last 10 (1-7-2).
Goalie Start
Ullmark will start Monday vs. the Predators.
Ullmark was outstanding in his season debut back on January 11th. Ullmark, who is the Sabres goalie of the future, stopped 44 of 45 shots in a 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets and tonight he will make his second NHL start of 2018. The 24-year-old has gone 20-11-4 with a 2.44 GAA, .923 SV% and two shutouts in 42 games with Rochester (AHL) this season.

The Sabres have recalled Ullmark from Rochester (AHL).
The Capitals have signed Lars Eller to a five-year extension worth $17.5M ($3.5M AAV).
Eller was set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason but signs a five-year extension for the exact same cap-hit he already had ($3.5M). Eller has enjoyed the best offensive season of his career to-date, as he’s on-pace for a career-high in goals (17), assists (26) and points (43) after picking up 11 goals and 17 assists (28 points) in his first 53 games of 2017-18.

Jensen will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.

The Kings have recalled Michael Amadio from Ontario (AHL).
Amadio, 21, had one goal in an eight-game stint with the Kings earlier this year but has spent the majority of his time in the AHL, where he has collected 34 points (11G / 23A) in 30 games. Amadio centred the Kings third line in Tuesday’s practice, so look for him to be in the lineup when they face the Penguins on Thursday.

The Sabres have reassigned Linus Ullmark to Rochester (AHL).
Ullmark was outstanding in his season debut on Thursday, turning away 44 of 45 shots in the Sabres win over the Blue Jackets. Ullmark is viewed as the Sabres goalie of the future but will go back to Rochester during the Sabres’ bye week and could return after the break. Ullmark could see an extended run with the Sabres if they elect to trade Robin Lehner like they are rumoured to.
Goalie Start
Ullmark will make his season debut for the Sabres on Thursday.
Ullmark has appeared in 21 career NHL games but it looks like he will make his season debut tonight vs. Columbus. The Sabres believe Ullmark has a bright future ahead of him, so they’ll give him a shot tonight after he has gone 17-5-1 with a 2.27 GAA, .928 SV% and two shutouts in 26 games with Rochester (AHL). While he might be the Sabres goalie of the future, he will be in tough against Sergei Bobrovsky tonight.

The Sabres have recalled Linus Ullmark from Rochester (AHL).
Ullmark has enjoyed a lot of success at the AHL level this season, going 17-5-1 with a 2.27 GAA and .928 SV% in 26 starts with the Americans. There isn’t believed to be any injuries to either Robin Lehner or Chad Johnson so Ullmark’s call-up is a bit of a head scratcher unless they have something in the works.
Line Change
Chabot has moved to the Senators top power-play.
The Senators have been terrible this season and their power-play sits at 25th in the NHL (15.9%). Chabot is a gifted young offensive-defenseman and after changing their power-play coach, Chabot becomes the quarterback of the top unit with Erik Karlsson on his left and Mark Stone on his right.
