Dell allowed four goals on 22 shots, all in the first period, of Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Dell and the Sabres saw a 1-0 lead turn into a 4-1 deficit in a matter of just over eight minutes, resulting in an early exit for the veteran netminder, who was replaced by Dustin Tokarski to start the second period. Dell remains winless on the season, falling to 0-4-0 with a 3.72 GAA and .862 save percentage. He's allowed four-plus goals in three of his four starts.

Dell will defend the cage at home versus Boston on Wednesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the fact that Dell remains winless this season, he will make his third straight start for the Sabres. Until the team gets veteran Craig Anderson (upper body) back, it will likely continue to divide the workload between Dell and Dustin Tokarski unless one of the two netminders can start putting together some wins.

Dell stopped 14 of 15 shots after replacing Dustin Tokarski early in the second period of Monday's 7-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old netminder played much better than Tokarski did, but it was Dell who got saddled with a loss on his record as the lone goal he allowed proved to be the game-winner. Tokarski has been pulled from his last two starts, but Dell hasn't made a strong case to replace him atop the Sabres' depth chart -- he's coughed up five goals in each of his two starts, and through four appearances he has a 3.73 GAA and .874 save percentage.

Dell turned aside 31 shots in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old netminder came up with some big stops, and Dell seemed to have earned the Sabres at least one point until Ryan Lindgren completed a tic-tac-toe passing sequence to bury the puck behind him with only 0.4 seconds left on the clock in the third period, the only tally of the final frame. Dell is still looking for his first win of the season, going 0-2-0 in three appearances with a rough 4.32 GAA and .861 save percentage.

Dell is starting Sunday's game against the Rangers, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dell allowed five goals in his only start thus far in 2021, a Nov. 13 loss to Toronto. He enters Sunday's matchup with an .861 save percentage.

Dell stopped all 10 shots he faced after replacing Dustin Tokarski in Thursday's defeat to Calgary.

EDGE Analysis

Based on his performance, Dell could be in the mix to start against the Rangers on Sunday if Craig Anderson (upper body) remains unavailable. Still, Dell figures to spend the bulk of the year playing in the minors and will likely remain the third-choice keeper for the club moving forward.

Dell made 21 saves in a 5-4 loss to Toronto on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dell started off wobbly -- he didn't even see the puck on the first goal. But settled down and came within 12 seconds of forcing overtime. Dell has not been sharp in the AHL, so don't expect wonders in his time back with Buffalo. Leave him on the wire.

Dell is on track to start between the pipes in Saturday's home game versus Toronto, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dell will be making his Sabres debut Saturday. The 32-year-old netminder has been mediocre in the AHL this season, maintaining a 3.01 GAA and a .905 save percentage through three games. He'll attempt to secure his first NHL win of the year in a home matchup with a Maple Leafs team that's only averaging 2.00 goals per game on the road this season, 29th in the NHL.

Dell was recalled by the Sabres on Saturday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Craig Anderson is dealing with an upper-body injury, so Dell will be on hand as an extra netminder for Saturday's matchup with Detroit. At this point it isn't clear if Dell or Dustin Tokarski will face the Red Wings.

Dell was placed on waivers by Buffalo on Wednesday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.

EDGE Analysis

This move suggests the Sabres are comfortable with entering the season with Dustin Tokarski and Craig Anderson as their top two netminders. The 32-year-old Dell has 114 games of NHL experience under his belt, so there's a chance he'll get claimed off waivers by a goaltender-needy team. If not, look for him to be assigned to AHL Rochester.
