Ellis (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Oilers.

Ellis drew a penalty in the first period on a collision in the crease. The Sabres cashed in on the power play, but Ellis left after the goal before being ruled out during the second period. Should he miss additional time, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Alex Lyon will handle the goaltending duties.

Saros will guard the home goal versus the Avalanche on Tuesday.

Saros' three-game winning streak came to an end Saturday when he allowed six goals on 38 shots versus the Hurricanes. Tuesday's matchup is even tougher, as the Avalanche boast the NHL's top offense and also best defense, which could make it difficult for the Predators to give Saros any scoring support.

Ellis will guard the road goal versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

Ellis will get a chance in goal after giving up five goals on 35 shots in his last outing Wednesday versus the Flyers to begin the Sabres' road trip. He'll have an extremely tough task ahead, as the Oilers have erupted for 19 goals over their last four games. Ellis did defeat Edmonton on Nov. 17, stopping 32 of 33 shots in that 5-1 win for Buffalo.

Dostal (upper body) is traveling with the Ducks on their five-game road trip, which began Tuesday in Pittsburgh, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Dostal also participated in Tuesday's morning skate, indicating his return could be getting closer. A clearer timeline for Dostal's return could be provided by the team, but his activation from injured reserve at some point during the trip would be the clearest indication of his readiness.

Husso will start in goal on the road versus the Penguins on Tuesday, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Husso continues to see heavy usage while the Ducks' two primary netminders are both out. The 30-year-old won his last start, stopping 19 of 20 shots Sunday versus the Blackhawks. The Penguins have racked up 21 goals over their last six games but are without Evgeni Malkin (upper body).

Johansson will guard the road goal versus the Canadiens on Tuesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Johansson will start both halves of a road back-to-back. He stopped 22 of 23 shots versus the Maple Leafs in a 2-0 loss Monday, and that light workload was likely part of the factor in the Lightning going back to Johansson a day later rather than Brandon Halverson. The Canadiens have scored just 15 goals over their last six games with a 3-3-0 record in that span.

Hart will guard the road goal against the Islanders on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Hart is coming off a 22-save performance in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers. He has a 2-0-0 record this season while allowing only five goals on 53 shots. The Islanders sit 21st in the league with 2.87 goals per game this campaign.

Markstrom will draw the road start versus the Senators on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom is looking to snap a three-game losing streak. In that span, he's allowed 10 goals on 84 shots. The Senators have scored just 12 goals over their last five games, going 1-4-0 in that span.

Askarov (illness) won't suit up for the Sharks on Tuesday in their game versus the Flyers.

Alex Nedeljkovic was already set to start. Askarov will attempt to be healthy enough to play Thursday versus the Maple Leafs.

Demko (lower body) told reporters he would be back in the lineup for Thursday's matchup with Buffalo, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

While Demko hasn't been officially activated off injured reserve, that move will likely come Wednesday or Thursday, and he hasn't been officially named as the starter, it's hard to imagine he won't get the nod for Thursday's home clash with the Sabres. While the team may ease him back into action, Demko figures to see the bulk of the workload the rest of the season.
