The 25-year-old rookie looked good in his first game action since Dec. 9, as Ellis missed most of the month in between with a concussion. On the season, he's gone 5-3-0 in nine outings with a 3.10 GAA and .900 save percentage, and he'll fill the No. 2 role between the pipes behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen while Alex Lyon (lower body) is on the shelf. |

Barring any setbacks, Ellis could be cleared in time to rejoin the lineup versus the Islanders on Saturday, though there is no guarantee he would immediately slide into the starting crease. With the Sabres continuing to carry three netminders, fantasy managers can't trust that any of Ellis, Ukka-Pekka Luukkonen or Alex Lyon will get enough work to offer significant fantasy value. |
It's still unclear when Ellis will return to the lineup, and he remains on injured reserve for now. With the Sabres carrying three netminders, it's hard to trust any of Ellis, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen or Alex Lyon to get enough work to offer significant fantasy value. However, that could change once Ellis is healthy, as the team could make changes to the crease situation. |

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. |

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. |

Ellis won his last outing, stopping 22 of 24 shots in a 3-2 shootout win over the Wild on Saturday. He is still working on carving out a larger share of playing time as the Sabres balance having three goalies on their roster. The Flyers have won three of their last four games while scoring 13 times in that span. |
Ellis gave up three goals, including two on Philadelphia power plays, in a span of 59 seconds during the first period. He allowed two more in the second before keeping things clean in the third, though it was too late to make a difference. Ellis continues to struggle to separate himself from Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon in the Sabres' goaltending battle. Ellis has a 4-3-0 record with a 3.40 |

analysis |
Ellis has not played in the last four games since he allowed six goals on 35 shots to the Flames. The Sabres' three-man goalie room continues to make it difficult for any of the team's netminders to carve out a larger role. Ellis will have a tough test against the Wild, who have won seven straight games with three shutout victories in that span. |
Ellis was torched for six goals in his last outing, but he was able to pick up his third win in his last four starts with this performance. The second goal he allowed in regulation was off a turnover, so this was actually a pretty good performance for the 25-year-old. Ellis is up to 4-2-0 with a 3.13 GAA and an .898 save percentage across six starts this season. The Sabres don't have any back-to-b |
