Comrie surrendered a pair of goals in the first period and two more Filip Forsberg tallies in the third as he took the loss in his first appearance since Feb. 15.

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.
