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.

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.

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 • 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.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

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

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.
