Dell was sent to AHL Rochester on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Craig Anderson and Dustin Tokarski are now both healthy, so the Sabres are no longer in need of Dell's services in goal. Dell will likely remain in the minors as long as Anderson and Tokarski are both available.

Dell has served his three-game suspension.
EDGE Analysis
Dell cleared waivers but remained on the active roster in order to serve out his suspension. Coming out of the All-Star break, the netminder will likely be headed for the minors now that both Craig Anderson and Dustin Tokarski are healthy and available.

Dell (suspension) was placed on waivers Saturday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dell has posted a 1-8-1 record with a 4.03 GAA and an .893 save percentage over 12 games this season. The 32-year-old was recently mandated to serve a three-game suspension for interfering with Ottawa's Drake Batherson in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Senators. Dell will need to be added back to the active roster before he'll be able to start serving his suspension.

Dell was suspended three games for interference against the Senators' Drake Batherson (ankle) in Tuesday's game.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Batherson is expected to miss a significant portion of time, it's not surprising to see Dell receive a suspension. It's a tough loss for the Sabres, who remain thin in goal, so they may need to call up a netminder from AHL Rochester to back up Michael Houser going forward. Dell will miss games Saturday in Arizona, Sunday in Colorado and Tuesday in Vegas, and the Sabres won't be back in action until Feb. 10 against the Blue Jackets due to the All-Star break.

Dell will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Wednesday for interference on the Senators' Drake Batherson (ankle).
EDGE Analysis
Dell was penalized on the play but is now facing the prospect of at least a one-game suspension, if not longer. The Sabres can ill afford to lose the 32-year-old netminder considering they have four other goalies currently dealing with injuries, which could leave the club with just Michael Houser as an option against Arizona on Saturday.

Dell allowed five goals on 47 shots in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
The Senators jumped out to a 3-0 first-period lead and added an insurance marker against Dell in each of the final two frames. This was a forgettable deja vu for Dell, who also gave up five goals on 47 shots to the Stars in his previous outing. He's allowed 17 goals en route to a 0-3-1 record in his last four starts, and Dell remains tough to trust in fantasy with the Sabres leaking chances in front of him.

Dell will get the starting nod on the road against the Senators on Tuesday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dell has just one win in 11 appearances this season, having posted a 1-7-1 record and 3.92 GAA. Still, with four other netminders dealing with significant injuries, including Opening Night starter Craig Anderson (upper body), Buffalo has few alternatives than to continue giving Dell starts.

Dell stopped 42 of 47 shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Dell was sensational at even strength, stopping 39 of 40 shots, but Dallas got four pucks past him on the man advantage. Buffalo's offense got off to a hot start, and the Sabres actually led it 4-3 after two periods, but Dallas struck twice on the power play in the final eight minutes to hand Dell the tough-luck regulation loss. This game showed why Dell's tough to trust in fantasy, as even a strong effort on his part resulted in a tough outing in the box score.

Dell will guard the home goal during Thursday's matchup with the Stars, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dell was pretty solid in his last start Monday against Detroit, stopping 32 of 35 shots, but he ultimately suffered his seventh loss of the season due to insufficient goal support from his teammates. He'll try to snap his personal two-game losing streak in a home matchup with a slumping Stars squad that's lost three straight contests.

Dell turned aside 32 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old netminder took a shutout and a 2-0 lead into the third period, but Dell then gave up two goals in just over three minutes midway through the final frame before Dylan Larkin snapped home the winner in OT. Dell has lost two straight starts since collecting his only win of the season so far, and he carries a rough 3.75 GAA and .892 save percentage through 10 appearances. With four other Buffalo goalies on the shelf however, the team is pretty much stuck with Dell in the crease for now.
