The Sabres have lost their last two games with Luukkonen between the pipes but will turn to him for the third time in the four contests. Luukkonen has allowed three or more in back-to-back games, including three on 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a 3-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. The Sabres enter action on Tuesday as -129 home favourites against the Washington Capitals.
Greenway played 20:30 time-on-ice in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs but did not participate in practice on Monday due to an upper-body injury. Greenway was a game-time decision on Friday due to an undisclosed ailment but ended up drawing into the lineup.
The Sabres were on the losing end of an embarrassing 6-2 contest against the Ottawa Senators last night and will turn to Levi in the crease on Friday against the New Jersey Devils. Levi was solid in relief of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on Wednesday, saving 31 of 32 shots (.969 SV%) in the eventual 6-2 loss.
Ivan Fedotov joined the Flyers on Friday and will serve as their backup moving forward. Sandstrom returns to the AHL, where he has gone 11-6-2 with a 3.23 GAA and .882 SV% in 20 games this season.
Reimer has backed up for the Red Wings' previous two games but will look to extend his personal three-game win streak as he takes the crease on Thursday vs. Carolina. The 36-year-old veteran has emerged as potentially Detroit's best option between the crease lately due to his 9-7-2 record, 2.98 GAA and .907 SV%. He will head to Carolina to take on the Hurricanes, who have won six of their last eight games and are fourth in the NHL in shots per game (33.1).
