Hutton stopped all 47 shots that he faced in the Sabres shutout win in Los Angeles last Thursday. Hutton has had a terrific start to the season, winning each of his first five starts, including back-to-back shutouts while stopping all 72 shots that he has faced. Linus Ullmark was able to beat the Sharks in San Jose on Saturday, so there’s no reason to doubt the red-hot Hutton on Tuesday.

Luukkonen is the Sabres top goaltending prospect and former second-round pick (2017). He missed the start of the 2019-20 campaign after hip surgery but is close to making his season debut. He was 38-11-2 with a 2.50 GAA and .920 SV% in 53 games with Sudbury (OHL) last year.

Hutton stopped all 25 shots that he faced in the Sabres shutout win over the Stars on Monday. After a disappointing 2018-19 campaign, Hutton is tied for the league-lead in wins (4), seventh in GAA (1.74) and tied for 10th in SV% (.931) through four starts this year. He’s playing well and the Ducks are 28th in the NHL in scoring (2.17 GF/pg) so Hutton is a solid option on Wednesday.

Hutton allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Sabres’ win over the Canadiens last Wednesday. Linus Ullmark has started two out of the last three games, so Hutton will get back between the pipes on Monday. He has not lost a game this season while posting a 2.32 GAA and .908 SV% in three starts. Dating back to the start of last season, Hutton is 15-9-2 with a .917 SV% in his last 26 starts in Buffalo.

Lazar has picked up one assist in three games with Rochester and has been recalled to serve as an extra forward as the Sabres head out to California for a road-trip starting on Wednesday. The former first-round pick has 51 points (15G / 36A) in 246 career NHL games with the Senators and Flames.

Ullmark allowed four goals on 40 shots in the Sabres overtime loss in Columbus on Monday. Ullmark was the Sabres’ best player on the ice by a wide margin and earned himself another start tonight vs. the Sabres. The 26-year-old was 8-6-3 with a 3.48 GAA, .893 SV% and one shutout in 17 games at KeyBank Center last season.

Hutton allowed two goals on 20 shots in the Sabres win over the Devils on Saturday. Linus Ullmark started Monday’s overtime loss in Columbus, so Hutton comes into Wednesday’s game well-rested. Hutton has started the year 2-0 while stopping 46 of the 49 shots (.939 SV%) that he has faced thus far. The 33-year-old has gone 14-9-2 in his last 25 starts in Buffalo.

Sheary will miss a couple of weeks with an upper-body injury that it is believed he suffered late in Monday’s overtime loss. Evan Rodrigues will make his season debut replacing Sheary on Wednesday and will likely be his permanent replacement for the next couple of weeks.

Rodrigues has been a healthy scratch for the first three games of the regular season but will draw into the lineup on Wednesday. With Conor Sheary day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Rodrigues will skate on the third line with Casey Mittelstadt and Jimmy Vesey.

Sheary played a season-high 12:05 TOI on Monday night but is questionable for Wednesday’s game due to an upper-body injury. The Sabres called him day-to-day, so monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate.

Ullmark appeared in a career-high 37 games in 2019-20, going 15-14-5 with a 3.11 GAA and .905 SV%. Carter Hutton has had a strong start to the season, but the Sabres view this as a good time to get Ullmark into the crease. He’ll face a Blue Jackets team that has started the season at 0-2 while being outscored 11-3.

Hutton made 28 saves on 29 shots in the Sabres 3-1 win over the Penguins on opening night. Hutton quieted the doubters by passing his first test of the season and his second start comes against a Devils team that blew a four-goal lead last night. He is 14-9-2 in his last 25 starts in Buffalo, so he’s a decent option vs. an up-and-coming New Jersey squad.

During his first season in Buffalo, Hutton went 18-25-5 with a 3.00 GAA and .908 SV% in 48 starts (50 games). Despite a below-average season, Hutton returns as the Sabres No.1 netminder but draws a rough matchup on opening night. Hutton was 1-1-0 with a 4.47 GAA and .868 SV% in two games against the Penguins in 2018-19.
