Ullmark will command the crease Friday against the visiting Penguins, John Vogl of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark is stuck in a rut, as he's winless with a 4.40 GAA and .878 save percentage over a particularly rough stretch within the Eastern Conference. A date with the Penguins -- a team averaging 3.44 goals per game; fifth in the league -- doesn't exactly inspire confidence in DFS plays searching for a goalie to stream on Friday's unusually large eight-game slate.

Ullmark stopped 19 of 21 shots after replacing Carter Hutton early in the second period of Monday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

While he performed better than Hutton did on the night, Ullmark still got saddled with his third straight loss. The 25-year-old has had a rough February, posting a 3.60 GAA and .889 save percentage over eight outings, but he should continue splitting starts with Hutton down the stretch.

Ullmark will back up Carter Hutton for a second straight contest Saturday against the Capitals, NHL.com's Heather Engel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark was expected to get the starting nod against Washington after Hutton guarded the goal Thursday versus Tampa Bay, but Hutton was sensational in that contest, stopping 39 of 40 shots, so the Sabres have clearly decided to ride the hot hand. The Swede's next opportunity to start could arrive as soon as Monday against Toronto.

Ullmark suffered a minor upper-body injury during morning skate and will serve as the backup Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It's a good sign that Ullmark will be available as the backup, as it indicates that he can play if needed. With Thursday now off the table for him to retake the cage, the Sabres' primary netminder, who has let in nine goals in his last two starts, will look to Saturday against the Capitals. Carter Hutton will take the cage Thursday to face the high-powered Bolts.

Ullmark will start in goal against host Tampa Bay on Thursday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark reportedly will be countered by Andrei Vasilevskiy, who appears to be the odds-on favorite to win the Vezina Trophy. The matchup leaves a lot to be desired since the Bolts also feature the league's top offense at 3.90 goals per game, plus the Swede permitted five goals on 30 shots in a regulation loss to the Presidents' Trophy frontrunners back on Jan. 12.

Ullmark gave up four goals on 41 shots Tuesday, ending up with a 4-2 loss to Florida.

EDGE Analysis

It's not Ullmark's fault that he had to face a high workload, but four goals is simply too high after giving up five goals the game before. Ullmark was playing well before losses to the Rangers and Panthers, but considering his next three potential starts are at Tampa Bay, home to Washington and at Toronto, you'd be wise to look elsewhere if you can for the next week.

Ullmark will guard the goal in Tuesday's road game against the Panthers, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark was pretty shaky in his last start Friday against the Rangers, surrendering five goals on 28 shots en route to a 6-2 loss. The Swedish netminder will look to put that tough performance behind him and pick up his 14th win of the season in a road meeting with a Florida team that's 14-10-5 at home this campaign.

Ullmark will get the starting nod at home against the Rangers on Friday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark is 3-0-1 in his previous four outings, along with a .907 save percentage. The Swede appears to have taken over the No. 1 job from Carter Hutton, though he is likely on a short leash as the Sabres try to chase down a Wild Card spot. New York is averaging just 28.6 shots (second fewest in the league), so it could be a lighter workload for Ullmark on Friday.

Ullmark will guard the cage in Tuesday's home game against the Islanders, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ullmark was sharp in his last start Saturday against Detroit, turning aside 28 of 29 shots en route to a 3-1 victory. The Swedish netminder will look to stay dialed in and pick up his 13th win of the season in a tough home matchup with a hot Islanders club that's gone 7-1-2 in its last 10 games.

Ullmark made 28 saves on 29 shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

This is a good bounce-back effort from the Swede, whose only blemish was a power-play goal by center Dylan Larkin late in the second period. Ullmark's record improves to 12-5-4 with a 2.97 GAA and .911 save percentage. Ullmark seems to have eclipsed Carter Hutton as coach Phil Housley's preferred option in the crease, making Ullmark a decent option on a situational basis. Still, Hutton will probably start Sunday's game against the Jets.
