Ellis will get the nod in Buffalo's regular-season finale. He'll likely open the postseason as backup to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, while Alex Lyon (lower body) is on the mend. Ellis earned his first career shutout in his last start, a 37-save effort Thursday versus the Blue Jackets. |
The Stars had Ellis' number in the shootout, with Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnson both beating the netminder to his glove side. Ellis wraps up the regular season with an 8-4-2 record over 16 outings with a 2.90 GAA and .903 save percentage, and he'll back up Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen to begin the playoffs until Alex Lyon (lower body) is healthy. |

Ellis (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Oilers. |
Ellis entered the concussion protocol after exiting Tuesday's game versus the Oilers, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. |

analysis |
Ellis drew a penalty in the first period on a collision in the crease. The Sabres cashed in on the power play, but Ellis left after the goal before being ruled out during the second period. Should he miss additional time, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon will handle the goaltending duties. |
Ellis will be unavailable until he is cleared from the protocol. The 25-year-old goalie could very well miss some time after getting hit in the first period of Tuesday's game. For as long as he's unavailable, the Sabres' crease will be split between Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon. |

analysis |
Ellis will get a chance in goal after giving up five goals on 35 shots in his last outing Wednesday versus the Flyers to begin the Sabres' road trip. He'll have an extremely tough task ahead, as the Oilers have erupted for 19 goals over their last four games. Ellis did defeat Edmonton on Nov. 17, stopping 32 of 33 shots in that 5-1 win for Buffalo. |
