Houser will get the starting nod on the road against the Penguins on Tuesday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.
Houser won't have much of a supporting cast in terms of NHL-caliber players, so fantasy managers may want to pursue other options for Tuesday's slate. The veteran backstop's time in Buffalo is almost certainly temporary, as he figures to join youngster Devon Levi with AHL Rochester after signing a two-way deal back in July.
