Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen News

Luukkonen stopped 41 of 43 shots (.953 SV%) for his fourth win in five starts as he was incredible in beating the Vegas Golden Knights in his last time between the pipes. The 23-year-old has been much better as of late for the Sabres and holds a 5-3-1 record, 3.44 GAA and .891 SV% through nine appearances. He faces the Detroit Red Wings who are on the back end of a back-to-back after a massive 5-4 comeback victory over Pittsburgh yesterday.

Luukkonen stopped 39 of 41 shots (.951 SV%) in his best start of the season his last time out, beating the Colorado Avalanche for his third win in four starts. The 23-year-old has had an up-and-down first eight starts of the season, with his 4-3-1 record, 3.62 GAA and .880 SV%. He takes on the Vegas Golden Knights, who lost their last game 5-2 but lead the Pacific Division standings.

He takes on the Vegas Golden Knights, who lost their last game 5-2 but lead the Pacific Division standings.

Luukkonen stopped 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%) in a much-needed bounce-back victory over San Jose in his previous start. The 23-year-old has struggled in his limited action this season as shown by his .856 SV%, 4,17 GAA and 2-2-1 record. He will face the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have lost five of their last six games and are on the second half of a back-to-back after a loss to Pittsburgh Tuesday.

Luukkonen stopped 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) for his first win of the season in his previous start vs. St. Louis. The second-year pro is 1-1-0 with a 3.50 GAA and a .881 SV% in only two starts this year. He will take on the Tampa Bay Lightning who have won five of their last six games after a 5-2 victory over the Blues their last time out.

Luukkonen struggled in his only start of the season, allowing five goals on 23 shots (.783 SV%) in a loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He will hope his second start of the year goes much better against the St. Louis Blues who have won seven straight games.

Amidst the news that Eric Comrie will be injured for "a little bit", Luukkonen has been called up from Rochester of the AHL. The 23-year-old netminder was fantastic with the Sabres in 2021-22, posting a .917 SV% and 2.74 GAA across a short nine-game showing. He has struggled this season with Rochester (AHL) posting a .898 SV% and 3.07 GAA with a 6-3-0 record.

Luukkonen suffered a lower-body injury last Tuesday and was listed as week-to-week, so moving him to IR created a roster spot for reinforcements. He'll be eligible to be activated whenever he is healthy.

Luukkonen suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's loss to the Lightning and is expected to miss at least a few weeks. The Sabres' goaltending situation is a mess right now with Luukkonen and Dustin Tokarski listed as week-to-week and both Craig Anderson and Malcolm Subban out month-to-month. That currently leaves Aaron Dell and the recently signed Michael Houser as their two active goalies.
