Fades in loss
Ellis stopped 32 of 36 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Mammoth. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
ANALYSIS
Ellis held the Mammoth to one goal over the first two periods, but the home team erupted in the third to run away with the game. It ends up as a middling effort for the 25-year-old, who is 1-1-0 with six goals allowed on 67 shots over his first two NHL appearances. Ellis has been battling with Alex Lyon and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen for playing time, though none of the three goalies has yet to get on a hot streak to seize the top job. Given the crowded crease, it's unclear when Ellis might play again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Projected starter Wednesday
Ellis was in the starter's crease during the morning skate, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550, putting him track to guard the road goal against Utah on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Ellis is poised to make his second start with Buffalo this season after he stopped 29 of 31 shots en route to a 4-2 win over Detroit on Oct. 22. He missed some time due to a back injury amd has been available since Oct. 27. Buffalo also has Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon on the roster, so that doesn't leave many opportunities for Ellis to play.
