Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie will guard the crease in Friday's matchup against Columbus. The 29-year-old gets his third start of the campaign. He has previously beaten Pittsburgh and Calgary in high-scoring games, allowing three goals on both occasions. Comrie has saved 65 of 71 shots to register a solid .915 save percentage. The Jets have dropped only one game so far and are expected to cruise past the hosts on Friday. However, the Blue Jackets are riding a bit of momentum with three wins in four games and boast a hot goalie in Elvis Merzlikins, who has allowed only one goal across his last two starts.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Eric Comrie (lower body) has been listed as week-to-week by the team. The 28-year-old got injured in Friday's 5-4 loss to New Jersey, leaving Buffalo without two of its first-choice netminders. Starter Devon Levi (lower body) is considered day-to-day. The injuries have promoted the Sabres to call up Devin Cooley from the AHL. He's set to work as Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's backup in Sunday's tough matchup against the Avalanche. It's never easy to maneuver through an injury crisis in the goalie department, but the Sabres have proven that they have the firepower to outscore anyone on their day, and with Luukkonen having so far saved only 52 of 59 shots this season, going all-out on the attack might be the team's best chance for success.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Eric Comrie sustained an lower-body injury in Friday's matchup against New Jersey. He was forced to leave the contest after allowing two goals on 18 shots. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen came in to replace him and gave up three more goals in an eventual 5-4 defeat. Luukkonen could now become Buffalo's No. 1 for the time being, as regular starter Devon Levi (lower body) has already been on the shelf for four games. The Finnish netminder made his second appearance of the season Friday and has logged a 4.78 goals-against average with a .881 save percentage.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Eric Comrie will make another start in Monday's matchup versus Montreal. The Sabres lost their regular starter Devon Levi (lower body) to injury last week, and Comrie has become the temporary No. 1, with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen backing him up. The 28-year-old had a triumphant season debut on Saturday, beating the Islanders 3-1 with 24 saves. A meeting against a rebuilding Canadiens team gives Comrie a great opportunity to make it two wins in two starts. Levi isn't expected to be available for Tuesday either when the Sabres finish a back-to-back set in Ottawa, so Luukkonen should also get some action this week.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Eric Comrie will get his first taste of action this season on Saturday against the Islanders. The Devon Levi (lower body) era is well underway in Buffalo, but he sustained a lower-body injury Thursday against the Flames and will need some time off to recover. Comrie had his first season with the Sabres last term and put together a decent 9-9-1 record, but he relied heavily on the team's offense to bail him out. The 28-year-old produced a lowly .888 save percentage and allowed 3.67 goals. Buffalo catches the Islanders on the second night of a back-to-back and has won five straight home outings in the matchup, so Comrie looks well-positioned to have a good outing in his season debut.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Eric Comrie responded to his worst outing of the season with his best game thus far, posting his first shutout of the season Saturday in a 2-0 win over the Islanders. The 27-year-old made his first start since March 9, when he coughed up a whopping 10 goals in a hammering by Dallas. Things went a lot better for Comrie this time, as he stopped all 26 shots the Islanders sent his way. Don Simmons in 1964 was the last goalie to record a shutout right after allowing 10-plus goals in his previous game. Comrie has struggled to keep the puck away from his net all season, registering a 3.72 goals-against average with a .882 save percentage, but he still boasts a decent 9-9-0 record.
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Eric Comrie has sustained a lower-body injury and is considered week-to-week. The 27-year-old got lit up for 10 goals in his last appearance by Dallas and it will now be a while until he can redeem himself. Before Thursday's nightmare, Comrie had won four consecutive starts. He is 8-9-0 for the season and has registered a 3.95 goals-against average with a .877 save percentage. With Comrie on the shelf, Craig Anderson and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will be tasked with helping to end the Sabres' 11-year playoff drought.
Buffalo Sabres goalie Eric Comrie (knee) is week-to-week after an MRI showed some issues with his knee. He fell awkwardly with his leg behind his back after a collision in Wednesday's game against Ottawa and had to leave the game. Comrie had a hot start to the year but has fallen back to earth recently, seeing his numbers tank to a 4-7 record, .887 SV%, 3.62 GAA, and -6.1 GSAA. With Comrie out, Craig Anderson should receive the bulk of the workload with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the backup role.
Buffalo Sabres goalie Eric Comrie (undisclosed) is likely to miss some time after sustaining an injury in the team's 4-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday. Comrie will be evaluated in Buffalo, meaning he will miss at least a week as the team is currently on a road trip. The injury happened on a collision with Senators forward Mathieu Joseph where Comrie took a high hit and also had his left leg buckle under him. Buffalo is sliding down the standings quickly right now, and this is the last thing they needed. Expect Craig Anderson to take over the majority of starts while Comrie is out, with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen backing him up.
Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie will earn his sixth start of the season Friday night against Vancouver. The 26-year-old has had a mixed season so far with a 3-2-0 record. He owns a 2.49 goals-against average with a .913 save percentage. Comrie also faced the Canucks on Nov. 19 and ended up with a 3-2 loss. This was his last appearance, so he's been stuck on the bench for quite a while and it might be difficult to find any rhythm. The Canucks have improved after a coaching change and will go for a fifth win in six games, meaning Comrie finds himself in a tough spot here.
Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie had a tough time on the man disadvantage for the Jets on Friday. The Vancouver changes on the man advantage threw Winnipeg further off their game as the Canucks tallied twice on the power play. Comrie gave up three goals in all during the 3-2 loss. The goalie faced 29 shots in all and stopped 26 of them. That was right around his season average of 27 shots per game. It was just a case where Winnipeg's tiredness showed on special teams once again. That cost Comrie and the Jets Friday.
Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie gets the start on Friday night versus the Vancouver Canucks. Comrie steps in after Connor Hellebuyck's 31-save win on Thursday night against the Edmonton Oilers. Comrie has been excellent in net during his limited time. In four appearances, the Winnipeg backup is 3-1 with a 1.98 goals-against-average and a .926 save percentage. The Vancouver Canucks may not have that easy of a night even against an unrested Winnipeg team.
Eric Comrie Will Make A Second Consecutive Start On Friday
Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie will make a second consecutive start on Friday against Chicago. He was thrown into action on Tuesday against Dallas when Connor Hellebuyck was away from the team for personal reasons, and the Jets No. 1 is now battling an illness. Comrie beat the Stars 4-3 in a shootout to improve to 2-0-0 for the season. He's so far allowed 2.40 goals per game with a .915 save percentage. It's been a nice start to the season for the 26-year-old and Friday's isn't a bad spot to continue winning. Hellebuyck has tested negative for COVID-19, but can't play until he's symptom-free. The Jets also have a game on Saturday against the Islanders. Comrie is backed up by Mikhail Berdin.
