Ullmark will start Saturday in San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark surrendered four goals to the Ducks in Buffalo's only regulation loss of the season Wednesday, but he'll get an opportunity to make amends against the 3-4-0 Sharks. San Jose's wins have come in the team's last three games, though, so Ullmark will certainly have his hands full on the road.

Ullmark allowed four goals on 30 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Things started well with the Sabres taking an early 2-0 lead, but a three-goal second period from the Ducks doomed Ullmark's performance. The Swedish netminder has allowed 10 goals and posted a 1-1-1 record through three stars this year, and he's getting the short end of a timeshare with Carter Hutton, who will likely tend twine in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Ullmark will patrol the road crease for Wednesday's showdown against the Ducks, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off an overtime win in which Ullmark stopped 41 of 43 shots, he'll give starter Carter Hutton a break Wednesday. Ullmark has been solid this season, and will draw a great matchup, facing a Ducks offense that has averaged just 2.17 goals per game this season, which ranks 28th in the league. The only time the Swede faced the Ducks in his career, Ullmark was perfect, stopping all 40 shots he faced en route to the victory.

Ullmark stopped 41 of 43 shots to earn the win in Friday's 3-2 shootout victory over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark has now made two starts this season and has been forced to kick out more than 40 shots in both of them. He made 40 saves against Columbus in Monday's season opener before tonight's 41-save follow-up effort. Incumbent starter Carter Hutton was believed to have a hold on the No. 1 job, but Ullmark's fast start (.931 save percentage) could lead to a more equitable split in playing time than in 2018-19, when Hutton made 50 appearances to Ullmark's 37.

Ullmark will start between the pipes in Friday's home matchup with the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark didn't get much help from his defense during his season debut Monday against the Blue Jackets, allowing four goals on 44 shots en route to a 4-3 defeat. The Swedish backstop will attempt to pick up his first victory of the campaign in a home matchup with a Panthers team that's averaged 3.00 goals per game through its first three contests of 2019-20.

Ullmark stopped 40 of 44 shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The ice was tilted heavily against the Sabres all night, as Joonas Korpisalo only faced 18 shots at the other end, and Ullmark did well just to earn a point for his side in his first start of the season given the weak defensive effort in front of him. The 26-year-old played in 37 games last season compared to Carter Hutton's 50, and a similar split of netminding duties could be in order in 2019-20.

Ullmark will patrol the road crease in Monday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Sabres aren't playing back-to-back games, so Ullmark is being afforded a start as part of his 1B duties. Carter Hutton has performed well as he's allowed just three goals on 49 shots to win his first two starts. Ullmark will look to match those stats and he has a good opportunity to do so. Through two games, the Blue Jackets have scored just three goals despite firing 59 shots on net.

Ullmark will get the starting nod versus Toronto on Friday and could play the entire game, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark stopped 18 of 19 shots his last time out, with his lone goal allowed coming with the Sabres on the penalty kill. While Carter Hutton likely has the inside track for the No. 1 job, another impressive performance by Ullmark could flip the script heading into Opening Night versus Pittsburgh on Oct. 3.

Ullmark will get the start in net in Tuesday's exhibition game against Columbus, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark wasn't great while splitting time with Carter Hutton last year, but he was able to post a so-so record (15-14-5) despite posting a sub-par 3.11 GAA and .905 save percentage in 37 appearances. The 26-year-old will battle Hutton for the Sabres' starting job throughout training camp, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the tandem enter the season in a full-blown timeshare.

Ullmark signed a one-year, $1.325 million contract with Buffalo on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark was reportedly seeking $2.65 million while the Sabres were offering $800,000 heading into Friday's arbitration hearing, and the final total ended up in the middle, though in favor of the team. The 26-year-old had a 15-14-5 record with 3.11 GAA last season and figures to enter the upcoming campaign as Carter Hutton's backup, albeit one that's in line for plenty of playing time.
