The Jets will likely give Connor Hellebuyck the night off on Friday and turn to Comrie between the pipes for his third start of the season. The 29-year-old Comrie has been serviceable in limited action this season, posting a respectable 3.00 GAA and .915 SV% through two contests (2-0-0). The Jets enter the action on Friday as -178 road favorites against a surprising Columbus Blue Jackets club (5-3-1) that ranks fifth-best in the league with a +10 goal differential.
The Jets are the only team remaining without a loss this season (4-0-0) and will turn to Comrie between the pipes for his first start. The 29-year-old Comrie recorded a subpar 3.69 GAA and .874 SV% during 10 games in the 2023-24 campaign as a member of the Buffalo Sabres (2-7-0). The Jets have been off to a blistering start, outscoring their opposition 18-5 during this season-opening four-game winning streak, and enter action against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday afternoon as -159 home favorites.
After six lacklustre seasons away from Winnipeg, Eric Comrie will return to the Jets on a one-year deal worth $825,000 to provide much-needed goaltending depth. The 28-year-old spent 2023-24 with Buffalo and struggled mightily in his 10 appearances, with his 2-7-0 record, 3.69 GAA and .874 SV%.
After several months of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen owning the Sabres crease, Comrie will get an opportunity on Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Comrie has struggled when called upon this season, posting a 3.91 GAA and .864 SV% through nine games (1-7-0). The Sabres enter action as +152 road underdogs.

Comrie will start the tail-end of Buffalo's back-to-back on Thursday after starter Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen got the start in Toronto on Wednesday. Comrie was saddled with the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 29 shots in a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Panthers on February 15th. He owns a 1-6-0 record on the year and has not won a game since his first start of the season, way back on October 21st. He will have a hard time getting back into the win column on Thursday as the Sabres find themselves as +135 underdogs in Nashville
Comrie has played only once in the last several months, on February 15th, and it was due to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen being sidelined with an injury. The Sabres have recalled Dustin Tokarski to back-up Luukkonen on Monday afternoon.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was originally expected to start but has been diagnosed with a lower-body injury so Eric Comrie will get his first start since December 5th, 2023. The 28-year-old will look to improve on his horrific overall season numbers as he is 1-5-0 with a 4.61 GAA and .863 SV%. He will host the red-hot Florida Panthers at home Thursday, who have won seven of their last eight games and lead the NHL in shots per game (34.1).

Comrie served as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's backup on Saturday while Devon Levi got some game action in the AHL. With the Sabres set to leave for a California road trip, Comrie returns to Rochester, and Levi is back with the Sabres. Comrie has gone 2-1-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .951 SV% in three AHL games since clearing waivers.
With Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen recovering from an illness, the Sabres have called Devon Levi, who is expected to serve as the backup to Eric Comrie on Tuesday. Comrie has been inconsistent through six games this season (1-4-0), posting an ugly 3.99 GAA and .864 SV%. and has failed to record a quality start since his season debut on October 21st. The Sabres have struggled to score, losing three straight contests, and, as such, are +119 home underdogs against a rolling Detroit Red Wings team that has won five of their last six outings (5-1-0).

Comrie will take the crease for the first time in four games as he takes on New Jersey on the road Saturday. The 28-year-old has struggled as Buffalo's third goaltender this season, with his 1-2-0 record, 2.62 GAA, and .898 SV%. He will take on the New Jersey Devils, who are trying to right the ship after three straight loses and are 12th in the NHL in goals per game.
