Buffal Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said his lineup would be a game-time decision, but Linus Ullmark was the first goalie off the ice after the morning skate and will start. "Linus has been very good in Rochester (of the American Hockey League), played extremely well; I think without a question their best player down there this year," Bylsma said. "He's done it facing a lot of shots in tough situations, so he's been very good, kind of proving how good a goaltender he is." Ullmark is 20-20-2 for Rochester with a .910 save percentage and was selected for the AHL All-Star Game. He played 20 games for the Sabres last season. 'We'll see about tonight," Ullmark said. "This is going to be great to be back in [Buffalo]… I just hope that we can turn this around." The Sabres try to end a three-game losing streak. They are seven points behind the Toronto Maple Leafs for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the the Eastern Conference. Goalie Robin Lehner missed the game Sunday against the Arizona Coyotes with an upper-body injury; he skated Tuesday but will not dress. "I got cleared a little late this morning so I was a little late on practice, but I feel good," Lehner said. "No symptoms in my head anymore… I got some small symptoms but it was all neck related and I passed all my testing so I'm happy it was nothing bad."
