Ellis faces Golden Knights at KeyBank Center in home test
Colten Ellis is projected between the pipes this afternoon as the Sabres host the Vegas Golden Knights at KeyBank Center. Operating as Buffalo's backup behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen with Alex Lyon sidelined, Ellis has provided steady relief, producing two wins, a 2.67 GAA, and a .909 save percentage over his last three appearances. Buffalo enters this contest at 8–5–3 to face an 11–5–2 Vegas squad in an even matchup set in a higher-scoring environment. If confirmed, Ellis is lined up for a duel against Carter Hart (unconfirmed) in what should be a busy home contest.
Our daily projection expects Ellis to turn in around 27–28 saves with a modest win chance, translating to roughly 3.8 fantasy points. However, the projected ratios carry some volatility against a potent Vegas offense, pointing toward a save percentage around .892 and a higher GAA. With tonight serving as the Sabres' third and final game of the week, he offers immediate volume for managers chasing goaltending stats on the Sunday slate, though the matchup limits his overall ceiling. Today’s action: Cautious Start.
