Ullmark allowed three goals on 39 shots in the Sabres loss to the Rangers on Thursday. Ullmark has been a workhorse for the Sabres, with Saturday marking his fifth consecutive start. He's gone 2-0-2 while stopping 121 of the 132 shots (.917 SV%) that he's faced. Buffalo has been terrific defensively so far this season, so Ullmark continues to be a strong fantasy option in the right matchups.


Ullmark allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Sabres' shootout win in Washington on Sunday. After going 1-1-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .905 SV% in his first three starts, it looks like Ullmark will face someone other than the Capitals on Tuesday night. The Rangers come in struggling, opening the season at 1-3-1 while averaging 2.60 goals for per game.

The Rangers come in struggling, opening the season at 1-3-1 while averaging 2.60 goals for per game.



Ullmark missed the last two games due to the death of his father but was back on the ice on Thursday. With Carter Hutton day-to-day with an injury, a heavy-hearted Ullmark could be back in the crease Friday in Washington.

Ullmark looked like the Sabres' starter during Monday's morning skate but will miss tonight's game due to personal reasons. With Ullmark out, Jonas Johansson was recalled on an emergency basis and he is expected to backup Carter Hutton.

Ullmark went 17-14-3 with a 2.69 GAA and .915 SV%. His numbers improved drastically from 2019 and it appeared he would take on a larger role in 2021. However, Carter Hutton had a strong training camp and started the first game of the season, suggesting this could still be a tight timeshare. The 27-year-old Ullmark was 11-5-1 with a 2.54 GAA and .919 SV% in 17 starts on home-ice a season ago.

Given Carter Hutton's struggles since signing with the Sabress, Ullmark has become their No.1 netminder over the last two seasons. He's coming off of a solid campaign in 2020 but ranks tied for 26th in SV% (.910) and tied for 35th in GAA (2.91) since the start of 2019. The Sabres have improved this offseason but Ullmark remains nothing more than a low-end No.2 fantasy netminder.

Ullmark has missed the last 18 games with a lower-body injury but will make his first start since January 28th tonight vs. the Capitals. Before getting hurt, Ullmark was 5-3-0 with a 2.17 GAA and .929 SV% in eight January starts and is 10-5-1 with a 2.59 GAA and .917 SV% in 16 home games this season. In his first start against the Capitals, Ullmark surrendered six goals on 34 shots in a 6-1 loss.

Ullmark has been out since January 28th but will serve as Carter Hutton's backup on Friday. Ullmark was playing great before getting hurt, winning five of his last eight with a 2.17 GAA and .919 SV%.

Ullmark suffered a non-contact lower-body injury in Tuesday's loss to the Senators. It looked like it could be a long-term injury but Ullmark catches a break with a 3-to-4 week timetable. Jonas Johansson has been called up from Rochester (AHL) to take his spot on the roster.

Ullmark stopped 35 of 37 shots in the Sabres' 2-1 loss to the Predators on January 18th. Ullmark was playing unbelievable hockey heading into the Sabres' bye week, going 3-1-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .947 SV% in his last four starts. Tonight he faces a Senators team that he's played well against, going 1-1-0 while giving up just four goals on 52 shots (.923 SV%) in two meetings this season.
