The Buffalo Sabres have recalled 22-year-old goaltender Linus Ullmark from the Rochester Americans of the AHL, the team announced on Friday.

“We’re getting a lot every game”, Eichel said.
Ullmark has been given three of the Amerks’ six games this season, putting up a. 932 save percentage. He also stopped a partial breakaway from Zemgus Girgensons before the period was over. Buffalo has a ways to go before they will be back in the discussion for a playoff spot and teams have them circled on their calendar this season as they are going to be among the league’s worst and without Robin Lehner it makes things that much tougher.
“It’s good because they are not coming easy”, Devils coach John Hynes said.
A nifty string of passes gave New Jersey its first lead, as Schlemko crept in from the right point to slide a low pass from Cammalleri past Ullmark. The goal, O’Reilly’s third of the season, came one second after the Devils killed a penalty. Schlemko put New Jersey ahead with 49 seconds left in the period.

The Buffalo Sabres now have a quick turnaround, with a game against the New Jersey Devils on October 24. The goal was disallowed on the ice and it was not reviewable. Both had been healthy scratches the night before…. D Jon Merrill was a healthy scratch…. Shero reportedly requested permission to speak with Bylsma for the Devils’ coaching vacancy in May, before Bylsma was hired by Buffalo…. Tonight won’t determine whether or not he can handle the National Hockey League game, but it is the first chapter in that story.
