For the first time this preseason, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen took the ice for the Buffalo Sabres as he entered training camp with an injury. The Sabres worked him back slowly in hopes of putting the injury behind him.

However, Luukkonen only lasted one period and was ruled out with a lower-body injury, and according to Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News, this is the same injury he was dealing with entering training camp.
