October 25, 2025
Ellis is day-to-day due to tightness in his back, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Ellis was originally expected to start in Saturday's road game against Toronto, but he missed that assignment due to his injury. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen got the nod instead and stopped 18 of 22 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss. Even if Ellis ends up being an option for Tuesday's home game against Columbus, it's not clear if he'll play between the pipes. In addition to Ellis and Luukkonen, Buffalo also has goaltender Alex Lyon on the roster, so there's plenty of competition for starts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to start Wednesday
GBuffalo Sabres
October 22, 2025
Ellis was in the starter's net during Wednesday's morning skate, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports, indicating that he'll likely draw the home start against the Red Wings.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old Ellis will likely get his first taste of NHL action after serving as Alex Lyon's backup for the Sabres' first six games of the regular season. Over 42 regular-season appearances with AHL Springfield last year, he went 22-14-3 with a 2.63 GAA and a .922 save percentage.
