Ullmark saved 20-of-21 shots in two periods of action during Monday's 4-1 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark drew the start and already looked to be in midseason form, with the lone blemish coming on a goal from David Savard. After spending most of the last three years with AHL Rochester, the 25-year-old Swede should see a good amount playing time with Buffalo behind Carter Hutton.

Ullmark will tend the road goal versus the Blue Jackets on Monday, Mike Harrington of TBN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The hope is that Ullmark will be a legit starting goalie for the Sabres some day, but this year he will be vying for playing time with newcomer Carter Hutton. However, it's Ullmark who gets the first preseason start, which will give him a chance to try and convince his coaches to play him more often this year. If nothing else, the backup job should finally be his full time.

Ullmark has a new goaltending teammate after the Sabres signed Carter Hutton on the first day of free agency.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark was No. 1 in name after the Sabres bounced fellow Swede Robin Lehner last week, but the team was never going to fully hand over the reigns to the unproven Ullmark at this stage of his career. The Hutton signing was a good move for the organization, as it now has a veteran who the team thinks has the analytics to do more when finally given a chance to carry a team, while he's also said to have a good veteran locker room presence that should lead to him providing a good mentor for the 24-year-old Ullmark.

Ullmark (concussion) was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The timeline for Ullmark's return from his concussion is unclear, but if he's healthy in time, he'll be able to pursue a Calder Cup with AHL Rochester. In a five-game sample size, Ullmark had a remarkable .935 save percentage with Buffalo, and he should compete for the starting job next season.

Ullmark (concussion) isn't likely to be available for Saturday's season finale against the Panthers, as Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports Chad Johnson will start with Adam Wilcox potentially entering later in the contest for his NHL debut.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark traveled with the Sabres for the final two games against the Lightning and Panthers, respectively, but it doesn't sound like he'll dress. The Swede only drew into five games for the Swords this season, but perhaps he should've seen more action as he turned up sterling ratios (2.00 GAA and .935 save percentage) despite winning only one game. He'll be playing for a new contract in the 2018-19 campaign.

Ullmark (concussion) -- who will be afforded an opportunity to win the starting gig next season -- will travel with the team as it embarks on the final road trip of the season, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
It wouldn't make much sense for Ullmark to travel if he didn't have an opportunity at starting one of the final two games of the season. The 24-year-old netminder impressed in his third season with AHL Rochester, posting a 2.44 GAA and a .923 save percentage over 42 appearances. That success continued at the top level with a 2.00 GAA and a .935 save percentage over five appearances and there's a chance Ullmark will see a lot more time between the pipes for the Sabres in 2018-19.

Ullmark will get a chance to win the No. 1 job next season, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robin Lehner is still penciled in as the team's starter, but for the third straight season his numbers have gotten worse. Ullmark, on the other hand, has always been one of Buffalo's prized prospects, and in five appearances this season has a .935 save percentage. The former Swedish League Goalie of the Year is at least expected to be the team's backup as current backup Chad Johnson enters free agency this summer. Fantasy owners look at long-term projections should be aware of Ullmark, who is a good handcuff to have for those who own Robin Lehner.

Ullmark (concussion) is still considered day-to-day and won't dress for Wednesday's game against the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
The Sabres only have two games remaining following Wednesday's contest, so it's possible Ullmark's already seen his last game action of the season. If that ends up being the case, the 24-year-old netminder will end the campaign having compiled a 1-2-0 record while posting an admirable 2.00 GAA and .935 save percentage in five appearances.

Ullmark (concussion) isn't suiting up against Nashville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
While Ullmark continues to deal with his concussion and Robert Lehner (lower body) remains sidelined as well, Chad Johnson should continue to hold the reins to the starting gig in Buffalo. The 24-year-old is still listed as day-to-day, but with Buffalo sitting in last place in the NHL at the moment and the season waning, there's no reason to push the youngster back, but he could return as soon as Monday against Toronto.

Ullmark is day-to-day with a concussion, John Vogl of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Making matters worse for the Sabres, No. 1 goalie Robin Lehner sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's loss to Detroit and is day-to-day as well. Adam Wilcox was promoted from AHL Rochester to shore up the team's depth in goal, but given the team's last-place standing in the league and calling up an AHL netminder out of necessity, this is a situation worth avoiding altogether if you can help it.
