Sabres' Anders Nilsson: Gets starting nod for Tuesday's contest

Nilsson will guard the goal in Tuesday's home game against the Oilers, Bill Hoppe of the Times Herald reports.

Analysis:

Nilsson has secured wins in back-to-back starts, but he hasn't posted impressive stats in the process, registering a 3.53 GAA and .889 save percentage over that span. The 26-year-old backstop will look to pick up his fifth win of the season in a highly unfavorable home matchup with a Connor McDavid-led Oilers offense averaging 3.21 goals per game on the road this season, second in the NHL.
