Plus-1: UPL Looks Good
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made several key saves to keep Buffalo in the game over the course of Tuesday night, including robbing Mark Scheifele and stopping Pierre-Luc Dubois a handful of times in a row. The Sabres’ goaltending situation is still very much in flux, with Aaron Dell being sent back to Rochester, Malcolm Subban coming off injured reserve and Dustin Tokarski finally returning from his quarantine in Florida, but Luukkonen has shown himself as deserving of a look.
