Ellis, who joined the Sabres in October, is already making an impact in the Buffalo community.
Buffalo Sabres goalie Colten Ellis recently attended an event hosted by the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, which set the stage for a moment that perfectly captures the holiday spirit.
Ellis, who was claimed off waivers from the St. Louis Blues before the start of the 2025-26 NHL season, met 14-year-old Roswell Park patient Shaylee Klaes during a game of laser tag in late November.
