Ullmark will guard the cage during Friday's road clash with the Capitals, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark was a little shaky in his season debut last Friday against the same Washington team, surrendering two goals on just 21 shots en route to a 2-1 loss. The 27-year-old Swede will have a better-than-normal opportunity to pick up his first win of the season Friday, as the Capitals will be without Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov and Dmitry Orlov, who are all out due to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols.

Ullmark (personal) was back at practice Thursday following the death of his father.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark will travel with the team for the upcoming two-game road trip versus the Capitals. While it's not a back-to-back, Ullmark should be expected to play in at least one of the games, though an injury to Carter Hutton (upper body) could mean a pair of clashes with Washington for Ullmark.

Ullmark (personal) will not suit up for Tuesday's game against the Flyers, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

As a result, Carter Hutton will make his second start in as many nights with Jonas Johansson taking on backup duties. The reason for Ullmark's absence is ultimately unknown at this point, but nonetheless, his next chance to play will come Friday in Washington.

Contrary to an earlier report, Ullmark (personal) will not suit up for Monday's tilt with the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear why Ullmark is suddenly unavailable for Monday's contest or when he'll be available to return. He'll be questionable for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia while Carter Hutton is expected to start Monday.

Ullmark was the first goalie off the ice in Monday's morning skate, suggesting he'll start against the Flyers in the evening, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

While both Ullmark and Carter Hutton lost in their respective first starts of the season against the Capitals, Ullmark only allowed two goals while Hutton gave up five. The younger Ullmark was the more effective option in Buffalo's net last season, and it appears he'll be given the chance to seize the top job in 2020-21. That said, the pendulum could swing back Hutton's way if Ullmark doesn't seize this opportunity.

Ullmark made 19 saves in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not being particularly busy, Ullmark came through with some big stops to keep the Sabres in the game. Unfortunately for Buffalo, Vitek Vanecek was that much better in the other crease in his NHL debut. Ullmark remains in a time share with Carter Hutton, so look for both netminders to get a start when the team travels to Philly for back-to-back tilts against the red-hot Flyers to begin next week.

Ullmark is slated to start at home against the Capitals on Friday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark takes the second game of the Sabres' back-to-back versus Washington. It was a shaky first outing for Carter Hutton on Thursday, as he gave up five goals on 27 shots. As such, Ullmark could begin to open the door to being the No. 1 option if he can put together a strong performance Friday.

Ullmark (undisclosed) is on the ice for Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark missed the first five days of the Sabres' training camp while fulfilling his mandatory quarantine requirements, but he'll now set his sights on knocking off any lingering rust ahead of Buffalo's Jan. 14 regular-season opener versus Washington. The 27-year-old backstop is expected to get the bulk of the starts in goal for what should be a significantly improved Sabres squad in 2020-21.

Ullmark is scheduled to fulfill his quarantine and will be eligible to return to practice Wednesday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark got to Buffalo late and was forced to miss the early part of camp while he quarantined. Since he's fulfilling protocols and there's no injury at play here, the Sabres' starting goalie should hit the ground running once he's able to return Wednesday.

Ullmark (undisclosed) is fulfilling his quarantine after a delay in his return to Buffalo for training camp, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark was a surprise absence from the ice as the Sabres skated for the first time Friday. There's no reason to believe Ullmark will miss any time as the quarantine he is completing is in line with COVID-19 protocols. The 27-year-old Swede is in his prime and expected to be the No. 1 choice for head coach Ralph Krueger heading into the 2020-21 campaign. Fantasy managers may be interested in Ullmark as a high-end third goalie for their rosters.
