EDGE Analysis
Dell has posted a 1-6-0 record with a 3.89 GAA and an .889 save percentage over nine appearances this season. He picked up his first win of the year against Nashville on Thursday. The 32-year-old stopped 35 of 39 shots on net in Saturday's 4-0 loss to Detroit. The Red Wings have averaged 27.7 shots on goal and 2.33 goals per game over 18 road contests this season, ranking bottom 10 in both categories.

Dell made 35 saves in a 4-0 loss to Detroit on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
This loss wasn't on Dell -- none of his teammates showed up to help. Even his teammate Robert Hagg told reporters post game, "[Dell] is the only guy who can feel good about himself tonight." Don't expect any fantasy miracles from Dell -- the Sabres are in the league's bottom-five teams and hoping for a lottery draft pick. One man cannot save this squad.

Dell will protect the road goal Saturday versus the Red Wings, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dell won his last start, stopping 29 of 30 shots versus the Predators. A plethora of injuries has affected the Sabres' goaltending group this year, so Dell figures to serve as a No. 1 option in the short term. He has a 3.87 GAA and an .887 save percentage in eight appearances this season.

Dell made 29 saves on 30 shots in a 4-1 win over the Predators on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Dell has not earned a starting gig this season, but certainly made the case to remain in that role Thursday. The 32-year-old allowed just one goal, a power-play score from Matt Duchene in the second period, before locking in for the remainder of the game. Dell has a 4.52 GAA in eight appearances on the season.

Dell will guard the net in Nashville on Thursday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dell has gone 0-5-0 with a 4.52 GAA and an .872 save percentage over seven appearances this season. The Predators have averaged 3.14 goals and 29.29 shots on goal in 2021-22. The Sabres have had their goalie depth ravaged by illness and injury, resulting in Dell, a call-up, being their best option to defend the cage. He will likely remain the number one option at goalie until Dustin Tokarski (not injury related) is ready to return.

The Sabres recalled Dell from AHL Rochester on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Dell, who performed miserably with a 4.51 GAA and .872 save percentage in seven games earlier this season, could start in net Thursday against Nashville. The 32-year-old is likely to return to Rochester once Buffalo's regular goaltenders are healthy and active.

Dell was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Malcolm Subban (lower body) back from injured reserve, the NHL roster had no more room for Dell. The 32-year-old is 0-5-0 with a brutal 4.51 GAA and .872 save percentage in seven NHL contests this season.

Dell stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Malcolm Subban (lower body) in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Dell played the last 10:03 of the contest after Subban was injured. Should the latter miss time to the injury, Dell would likely get a chance to be the Sabres' No. 1 goalie for a bit. The 32-year-old has been atrocious so far this year with a 4.52 GAA and an .872 save percentage in seven contests, so he's unlikely to have much fantasy value even if he strings some starts together.

Dell gave up five goals on 43 shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Dell was spotted a 3-0 lead in the first period and didn't give up a goal until three seconds before the game's halfway point, but the floodgates opened for the relentless Panthers offense from that point forward. It was 4-3 Sabres after two, and Florida took its first lead at the 8:05 mark of the third before piling on a pair of empty-netters late. Given his 0-5-0 record, 4.70 GAA and .868 save percentage, only the most masochistic of fantasy managers will deploy Dell anytime soon.

Dell will be stationed between the pipes for Thursday's contest in Florida, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dell will make his first appearance since coughing up four goals on 22 shots in the first period of the Nov. 24 loss to Boston. He fell to 0-4-0 on the year with a brutal 4.57 GAA and .862 save percentage. With Dustin Tokarski on the COVID-19 list, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will serve as the backup.
