Ullmark turned away 35 of 37 shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark eventually coughed up a 2-0 lead, but defensive teammate Rasmus Ristolainen buried the puck into the net with 16.8 seconds left in the game to give the backup goalie his third win. Ullmark has made five appearances this campaign, half as many as Chad Johnson, who the team is trusting most to hold down the fort while Robin Lehner continues to recover from a high-ankle sprain and might not return until late November.

Ullmark will start in goal Saturday afternoon against the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark only lasted one period and was replaced by Chad Johnson in his start against the Bolts on Thursday, allowing three goals on just 11 shots. Vancouver has posted 38 goals in 13 games, so this should be another stiff test for Ullmark.

Ullmark was pulled from Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning after allowing three goals on 11 shots. He was replaced by Chad Johnson.
EDGE Analysis
After allowing just two goals over his previous two starts, Ullmark imploded against the Lightning. The Sabres defense didn't give him much help, blowing assignments left and right. Ullmark is a talented young goalie and should be able to get his head straight before his next start.

Ullmark will be between the pipes for Thursday's game against the Lightning, Bill Hoppe of the Times Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark started the last two games and gave up just two total goals, so head coach Dan Bylsma decided to reward him with a third consecutive start. Ullmark offers more upside than fellow netminder Chad Johnson, so he has an opportunity to secure more starts in the near future with Robin Lehner (ankle) sidelined at least a few more weeks. On Thursday, Ullmark will square off against a slumping Lightning team that won just one of its previous five games and scored a total of seven goals over that span.

Ullmark has a good chance to start Thursday's game against Tampa Bay, reports The Buffalo News.
EDGE Analysis
The young Swedish netminder has allowed just two goals in his past two starts, making 56 saves in the process. He's the reason why the Sabres didn't make a move to get another goalie after starter Robin Lehner went down with a high ankle sprain, and that patience and confidence is paying off. Ullmark "has probably earned" another start, hinting that head coach Dan Bylsma will continue to roll with whichever goalie has the hot hand.

Ullmark stopped 29 of 30 shots in Sunday's win over the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
That's back-to-back wins for the rookie, who has stopped 56 of the last 58 shots he's faced. Ullmark is now 2-1-0 on the season with a .930 save percentage, so look for the Sabres to continue riding the hot hand.

Ullmark will receive the start Sunday against the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark posted a solid outing Friday against the Flyers, setting aside 27 of the 28 shots he faced to earn his first NHL victory. He will once again get the starting nod Sunday, looking to make it back-to-back wins against an Islanders team ranking seventh in scoring with 3.18 goals per game.

Ullmark earned his first career NHL win Friday, stopping 27 of 28 shots in a 3-1 victory over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie came up large in the battle of the backups against Michael Neuvirth, keeping the Flyers quiet all night until he was beaten by Mark Streit with less than four minutes remaining in the game. Buffalo's crease is a bit of a mess with starter Robin Lehner (ankle) out until at least December, so Ullmark could get a few more shots between the pipes in favor of regular backup Chad Johnson, who only has 65 NHL contests under his belt.

Ullmark will be in net when Philadelphia comes to town on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Ullmark, aged 22, is playing his first season in North America, where more pucks are shot through traffic and from unsuspecting angles than on the larger ice surfaces in Europe. Ullmark was recalled to the Sabres following an injury to starter Robin Lehner, and had turned in three strong performances in the AHL, showing he is adjusting to the smaller ice surface. Do not be surprised if Ullmark continues to improve, but expect him to be sent back to the minors following Lehner's return in order to further his development.

Ullmark made 24 saves in a 4-3 loss to New Jersey on Saturday night. It was his NHL debut.
EDGE Analysis
He played fairly well, but his teammates let him down defensively with some sloppy play at times. especially on the game winner. Ullmark is a big guy (6-4) who's the Sabres' goalie of the future and he could see more action at this level given Robin Lehner's injury and Chad Johnson's inconsistency. Unfortunately, rookie goalies on awful teams rarely fare well for fantasy owners.
