Ullmark allowed three goals on 26 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark's season debut didn't exactly produce the best outcome, as the Bolts beat him for two goals in the second period before scoring twice more in the third. Ullmark was the clear No. 3 behind Robin Lehner and Anders Nilsson on the organization's depth chart this season, as evidenced by his single appearance with the big club, and as such, his outlook in terms of NHL playing time going forward remains unclear.

Ullmark will make his season debut Sunday in Tampa Bay, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
In the AHL, Ullmark posted a mediocre .909 save percentage and 2.86 GAA in 53 games. The Lightning are a middle-of-the-pack offensive team, averaging 2.79 goals per game, but they still might prove difficult for the young goalie.

Ullmark was recalled from AHL Rochester on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark makes his return to the big club just one day after being reassigned, indicating that one of Buffalo's current goalies could in fact be dealing with an injury or might not be able to play the final weekend for any given reason. Either way, Ullmark doesn't present a ton of fantasy value even if he does draw into one of the last two contests.

Ullmark was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Thursday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
An undisclosed injury to alternate goalie Anders Nilsson reportedly wasn't serious, thus making it safe to return Ullmark to the minors. The Swede found his way into 20 games with the Swords last season, but he could wind up going the entire 2016-17 campaign without any NHL action due to the emergence of Nilsson as the complementary option behind Robin Lehner.

Ullmark will be recalled from AHL Rochester on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark will serve in a backup role as Anders Nilsson (undisclosed) will not be available. Depending on whether Nilsson is cleared for Buffalo's upcoming back-to-back, Ullmark could get a start Saturday or Sunday which would be his first of the 2016-17 campaign. None of the Sabres' three goaltenders are under contract for next year, so it is unclear what the 23-year-old's role with the team might be in the future.

Ullmark was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Robin Lehner completely healthy, the Sabres elected to send Ullmark down and keep regular backup Anders Nilsson up with the big club. Ullmark did not get the opportunity to draw into an NHL game this time around and will patiently await a recall while seeing ice time with the AHL's Americans.

Despite earlier conflicting reports, Ullmark will not start Tuesday's game against Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Instead, it'll be Robin Lehner returning from a brief two-game concussion absence. There was some confusion earlier in the day when Sabres head coach Dan Bylsma alluded that the entire team was a game-time decision, which was likely related to Wednesday's looming trade deadline. Nonetheless, Buffalo plays again Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, so look for Ullmark to man the blue paint for at least one of those contests.

Ullmark will be a game-time decision Tuesday night versus the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Paul Hamilton of WGR 550 indicated in a separate report that Ullmark will make his season debut Tuesday, only for the bench boss to declare that everyone on the team will be a game-time call for this next contest. With the trade deadline one day away, it's not unusual to see fickleness on the part of Sabres brass, especially with this team on the outside looking in in terms of a potential playoff berth. Starting goalie Robin Lehner reportedly has overcome his concussion, which further complicates this situation. It'll be dangerous to lock in fantasy lineups hours ahead of puck drop, so check back closer to warmups to see whether Ullmark will actually be in goal.

Ullmark will get the starting nod against the Predators on Tuesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark will be making his 2016-17 debut after spending the bulk of the season in the minors. When the netminder has been called up this year, it has been to serve as the backup, but he will finally log some time in the Sabres' crease. It may be the only start for the 23-year-old as he will likely be reassigned to the minors once Robin Lehner (concussion) is given the all clear.

Ullmark was called up from AHL Rochester on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
While he haven't heard anything about it yet, Ullmark's sudden recall would seem to indicate that something is going on with either Robin Lehner or Anders Nilsson, as the team called Ullmark up just before their date in Arizona on Sunday night. The 23-year-old keeper still hasn't seen any ice time for the Sabres and isn't likely to barring a major injury to at least one of the two goalies ahead of him on the depth chart.
