Comrie will protect the road goal versus the Predators on Thursday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie will play for the first time since Feb. 15, when he gave up three goals on 29 shots against the Panthers. It's been the Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen show ever since, leaving Comrie as a little-used backup. This game is the second half of a back-to-back on the road for the Sabres. The Predators saw their eight-game winning streak snapped in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday.

Comrie (illness) is practicing Tuesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie missed Monday's loss to Anaheim due to an illness, but he should be availalbe to either start or back up Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen against Montreal on Wednesday. Comrie has struggled in limited action this season, going 1-6-0 while posting an ugly 3.87 GAA and .868 save percentage through eight top-level appearances.

Comrie is dealing with an illness and won't be in the lineup versus Anaheim on Monday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie has played just once for the Sabres since the start of 2024, so he was unlikely to get the starting nod Monday regardless. With Comrie under the weather, veteran Dustin Tokarski was recalled from AHL Rochester to serve as the No. 2 option behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on Monday.

Comrie stopped 27 of 30 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's fourth goal getting scored into an empty net.
EDGE Analysis
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) was a late scratch, and the discombobulated Sabres didn't give Comrie much help as he took over between the pipes. It was his first NHL start since Dec. 5, and the 28-year-old netminder has a 3.87 GAA and .869 save percentage in eight outings for Buffalo this season. if Luukkonen ends up missing more time, Comrie could find himself in the No. 1 role -- the team elected to bypass Devon Levi for Dustin Tokarski when it summoned a backup from AHL Rochester on Thursday.

Comrie will guard the home goal Thursday versus the Panthers, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Comrie will start on short notice after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) was scratched about an hour before warmups. This will be Comrie's first NHL appearance since Dec. 5. He has gone 1-5-0 with a 4.01 GAA and an .863 save percentage over seven games this year, and the high-scoring Panthers figure to be a tough test.

Comrie was recalled from AHL Rochester on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, Devon Levi was loaned to AHL Rochester. The goalie swap may last only until Buffalo returns from the All-Star break. Comrie has played well in the AHL, going 3-1-0 with a 2.26 GAA and a .934 save percentage. Unfortunately, he has struggled in the NHL with a 1-5-0 record, a 4.01 GAA and an .863 save percentage over seven appearances.

Comrie was placed on waivers Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a tough season for Comrie, who's gone 1-5-0 with a disappointing .863 save percentage through seven games. If he clears waivers, the 28-year-old netminder will likely head to AHL Rochester where he'll serve as a depth option.

Comrie stopped 22 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Wings' final goal was scored into an empty net. Detroit scored four straight goals to begin the game before Buffalo's offense woke up late in the second period -- to his credit, Comrie kept the visitors off the board during the comeback attempt. Nonetheless, the 28-year-old netminder has lost four straight appearances since returning from a lower-body injury in mid-November, stumbling to a woeful 5.17 GAA and .827 save percentage during that time.
