Luukkonen will start Thursday in Minnesota.
Cousins has entered COVID-19 protocol.

Bjork (illness) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Bjork is dealing with a non-COVID illness, so he'll be a game-time decision on Thursday. Mark Jankowski will replace him if he's unavailable.
Line Change
Miller will draw back into the Sabres lineup on Thursday.
Miller has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Robert Hagg on Thursday. Hagg is month-to-month with a lower-body injury, so Miller should remain in the lineup moving forward. Miller has 10 points (2G / 8A) in 26 games this season.
Goalie Start
Quick is expected to make his fourth consecutive start on Thursday.
Hagg is month-to-month with a lower-body injury.

Chinakhov will draw back into the Blue Jackets lineup on Thursday.
Chinakhov was not in the lineup for the last five games but will replace Gregory Hofmann in the lineup on Thursday. Hofmann had been skating on the top line, so Chinakhov, who has four points (1G / 3A) in 18 games, could play in the top-6.

Knight was expected to be in a timeshare with Sergei Bobrovsky this season but has been badly outplayed by the veteran, going 6-4-2 with a 3.42 GAA and .892 SV%. He gave up eight goals to the Senators on Tuesday and will get some time in the AHL to work on his game.
Lizotte (COVID-19) is expected to draw back into the Kings lineup on Thursday.
