Sharp in finale Comrie stopped 31 of 33 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay.

Starting in Tampa Bay Comrie will defend the road net Monday versus the Lightning, per Jourdon LaBarber of the Sabres' official site.

Impact Comrie's first appearance since March 7 will come in Buffalo's season finale. In nine NHL appearances this campaign, he has posted a 1-7-0 record with a 3.91 GAA and an .864 save percentage. Tampa Bay sits fifth in the league this season with 3.50 goals per contest.

Falls to Nashville Comrie allowed four goals on 24 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Predators on Thursday.

Impact Comrie surrendered a pair of goals in the first period and two more Filip Forsberg tallies in the third as he took the loss in his first appearance since Feb. 15. The 28-year-old Comrie has been used sparingly behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen -- Thursday's start was just his second in Buffalo's last 27 games. Comrie falls to 1-7-0 with an ugly .864 save percentage and 3.91 GAA this season.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In goal versus Predators Comrie will protect the road goal versus the Predators on Thursday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Comrie will play for the first time since Feb. 15, when he gave up three goals on 29 shots against the Panthers. It's been the Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen show ever since, leaving Comrie as a little-used backup. This game is the second half of a back-to-back on the road for the Sabres. The Predators saw their eight-game winning streak snapped a 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday.

MARCH 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Comrie (illness) is practicing Tuesday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Impact Comrie missed Monday's loss to Anaheim due to an illness, but he should be availalbe to either start or back up Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen against Montreal on Wednesday. Comrie has struggled in limited action this season, going 1-6-0 while posting an ugly 3.87 GAA and .868 save percentage through eight top-level appearances.

FEBRUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable to back up Comrie is dealing with an illness and won't be in the lineup versus Anaheim on Monday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Comrie has played in just one of the Sabres' last 18 contests, so he was unlikely to get the starting nod Monday regardless. With Comrie under the weather, veteran Dustin Tokarski was recalled from AHL Rochester to serve as the No. 2 option behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on Monday.

FEBRUARY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Flops against Florida Comrie stopped 27 of 30 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Panthers, with Florida's fourth goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) was a late scratch, and the discombobulated Sabres didn't give Comrie much help as he took over between the pipes. It was his first NHL start since Dec. 5, and the 28-year-old netminder has a 3.87 GAA and .869 save percentage in eight outings for Buffalo this season, but if Luukkonen ends up missing more time Comrie could find himself in the No. 1 role -- the team elected to bypass Devon Levi for Dustin Tokarski when it summoned a backup from AHL Rochester on Thursday.

Tending twine versus Panthers Comrie will guard the home goal Thursday versus the Panthers, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Comrie will start on short notice after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) was scratched about an hour before warmups. This will be Comrie's first NHL appearance since Dec. 5. He has gone 1-5-0 with a 4.01 GAA and an .863 save percentage over seven games, and the high-scoring Panthers figure to be a tough test.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from AHL Comrie was recalled from AHL Rochester on Sunday.

Impact In a corresponding move, Devon Levi was loaned to AHL Rochester. The goalie swap may may only last until Buffalo returns from the All-Star break. Comrie has played well in the AHL, going 3-1-0 with a 2.26 GAA and a .934 save percentage. Unfortunately, he has struggled in the NHL with a 1-5-0 record, a 4.01 GAA and an .863 save percentage over seven appearances.

Sent down to minors Comrie was loaned to AHL Rochester on Sunday.

Impact In a corresponding move, Devon Levi was recalled from the minors. Comrie was the backup netminder behind Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old Comrie has a 1-5-0 record with a 4.01 GAA and an .863 save percentage in seven NHL outings this campaign.

JANUARY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from AHL Comrie was called up from AHL Rochester on Saturday.

Impact Comrie will switch spots with Devon Levi, who was sent to the minors. Comrie will back up Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on Saturday versus Tampa Bay. Comrie was 1-5-0 with a 4.01 GAA and an .863 save percentage with the Sabres, before he was placed on waivers Dec. 31 and then sent to the AHL when he cleared. Comrie played well in the AHL, going 2-1-0 with a 1.67 GAA and a .951 save percentage.

JANUARY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on waivers Comrie was placed on waivers Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's been a tough season for Comrie, who's gone 1-5-0 with a disappointing .863 save percentage through seven games. If he clears waivers, the 28-year-old netminder will likely head to AHL Rochester where he'll serve as a depth option.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tough night against Wings Comrie stopped 22 of 26 shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to Detroit.

Impact The Red Wings' final goal was scored into an empty net. Detroit scored four straight goals to begin the game before Buffalo's offense woke up late in the second period, although Comrie did keep the visitors off the board during the comeback attempt. The 28-year-old netminder has lost four straight appearances since returning from a lower-body injury in mid-November, stumbling to a woeful 5.17 GAA and .827 save percentage during that time.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod versus WIngs Comrie will be between the pipes at home against Detroit on Tuesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Impact Comrie has lost four straight contests, registering a 4.78 GAA and .843 save percentage in his last five appearances. The 28-year-old Edmonton native starts after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was ruled out due to illness. With Comrie getting the start, Devon Levi will be called up from AHL Rochester to serve as the No. 2 option.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Losses keep stacking up Comrie made 29 saves in a 6-2 loss to Carolina on Saturday.

Impact Comrie hasn't won since Oct. 21 and has a miserable 1-4-0 record, 3.99 GAA and .864 save percentage. After the game, Comrie was hard on himself, saying, "I don't think I was good enough tonight for the team." But the Sabres couldn't tickle twine more than twice in support. Comrie does need to sharpen his game and fast. The Sabres recently sent Devon Levi to the AHL, and he was excellent in his debut Friday. The pressure is on.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting versus Hurricanes Comrie will protect the road goal versus the Hurricanes on Saturday, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Comrie was pulled in his last start after allowing four goals on 17 shots versus the Devils last Saturday. The 28-year-old goalie hasn't earned a win in his last four outings, allowing 12 goals over that span. The Hurricanes are 4-1-1 over their last six games, which could present a challenge for Comrie given his lack of success lately.

DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Yanked after one frame Comrie made 14 saves on 18 shots and was replaced by Devon Levi to start the second period of Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Devils.

Impact The loss was self-inflicted, not by Comrie or Levi, but by the queasy effort of the Sabres overall. They got just 12 shots on the net at the end of the ice over three periods, and their miserable first period had them down 4-0. Comrie gets limited ice time and starts because of the three-headed monster in the Buffalo net. There's some thought that Comrie may be the odd man out, leaving Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Levi as the lone wolves in the NHL net. Don't jump on that yet -- official news about netminding will be slow to come and may involve sending Levi down for the betterment of his development.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in New Jersey Comrie will defend the road net Saturday against New Jersey, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

Impact Comrie is coming off a 15-save effort in a 3-2 loss to Winnipeg on Nov. 17. He has stopped 79 of 88 shots in four appearances this season en route to a 1-2-0 record. The Devils rank 13th in the league this campaign with 3.33 goals per game.

NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unimpressive in return Comrie allowed three goals on 18 shots in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

Impact Comrie missed three weeks with a lower-body injury, but his return to the crease was uninspiring. This was his fourth appearance of the campaign, and he's yielded nine goals on 88 shots in those outings. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen did alright when Comrie and Devon Levi were both injured, but the Sabres' goaltending usage figures to be tough to predict now that all three are healthy.
