He has allowed eight goals in those three games. Lyon was on a seven-game winning streak before he got hurt, and he's about eight days into a 7-10 day absence.

Tending twine versus Montreal Ellis will protect the home goal versus the Canadiens on Thursday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Impact Ellis will make his third start in the last five games, which suggests he's worked his way into a timeshare with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

Allows three goals in loss Ellis turned away 28 of 31 shots on net in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact With the game tied 2-2 entering the final period, Ellis allowed one even-strength tally before the Panthers buried an empty netter near the end of the contest. With Monday's loss, the 25-year-old netminder now has a 5-4-0 record with a 3.11 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 10 outings this season. Since his return to the lineup from a concussion that kept him sidelined for the majority of December and the start of January, Ellis has a 1-1-0 record with a .921 save percentage across two appearances. With Alex Lyon (lower body) sidelined for at least a few more games, Ellis should get at least one more start in relief of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen as he tries to work his way into a more consistent role in the Sabres' crease. His next chance to take the ice is Wednesday against the Flyers.
