Cozens was sent to the taxi squad prior to Sunday's game so that the Sabres could get Casey Mittelstadt into the lineup. The two swapped spots on Tuesday morning, so look for Cozens to skate with Eric Staal and Victor Olofsson vs. the Rangers. The rookie has scored one goal with one assist in his first five career NHL games.
Ullmark allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Sabres' shootout win in Washington on Sunday. After going 1-1-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .905 SV% in his first three starts, it looks like Ullmark will face someone other than the Capitals on Tuesday night. The Rangers come in struggling, opening the season at 1-3-1 while averaging 2.60 goals for per game.
Blais replaced Kyle Clifford in the lineup on Saturday but Clifford will draw back in against his former team on Saturday.
Ullmark missed the last two games due to the death of his father but was back on the ice on Thursday. With Carter Hutton day-to-day with an injury, a heavy-hearted Ullmark could be back in the crease Friday in Washington.
Blais was suspended for two games for his hit on Devon Toews in the season opener but is expected to be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Sharks. Blais is expected to replace Kyle Clifford on the fourth line.
The Senators called Stützle's injury minor on Tuesday but it looks like he'll miss at least two games. Alex Galchenyuk scored while replacing Stützle on Tuesday, so expect him to remain in the lineup on Thursday.
The Hurricanes played in Nashville on Monday and had just one player n the COVID-19 protocol list and that was Jordan Staal. On Tuesday, their game with the Predators was cancelled due to four more players being added to that list, Foegele among them. The four players with confirmed positive tests must stay behind in Nashville and observe a 10-day isolation period in the team hotel.
Burakovsky is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will not play Tuesday vs. the Kings. With Burakovsky out, Joonas Donskoi will move up to the second line and Erik Johnson will make his season debut as the seventh defenseman.
Amadio is expected to be a healthy scratch Tuesday vs. the Avalanche and will be replaced Lias Andersson, who will make his Kings debut.
A few days after scoring his first career NHL goal, Stützle will sit due to a minor injury. With Stützle out, Alex Galchenyuk will replace him on the second line and second power-play unit.
Ullmark looked like the Sabres' starter during Monday's morning skate but will miss tonight's game due to personal reasons. With Ullmark out, Jonas Johansson was recalled on an emergency basis and he is expected to backup Carter Hutton.
Ullmark went 17-14-3 with a 2.69 GAA and .915 SV%. His numbers improved drastically from 2019 and it appeared he would take on a larger role in 2021. However, Carter Hutton had a strong training camp and started the first game of the season, suggesting this could still be a tight timeshare. The 27-year-old Ullmark was 11-5-1 with a 2.54 GAA and .919 SV% in 17 starts on home-ice a season ago.
