Ellis will join the Sabres for his second recall of the 2014-15 season after appearing in four NHL games leading up to the All-Star break. In parts of nine NHL seasons with the Sabres, Los Angeles Kings and Detroit Red Wings, Ellis has appeared in 321 games and recorded 47 points (20G / 27A).
Ellis appeared in four games during his recall. He has three shots, two penalty minutes and a minus-2 rating. With the Sabres done until after the All Star break, they send Ellis back as they expect a few forwards to return after the break.
Sabres’ forward Chris Stewart has been battling the flu and likely won’t play tonight so Ellis has been recalled and should be in the lineup for the Sabres. The reason to recall Ellis instead of another forward is that Dominik Hasek’s jersey will be retired tonight and Ellis is the only current Sabre to have played with Hasek.
