Rousek (upper body) took a stick up high at practice on Tuesday and will be a game-time decision on Wednesday vs. Ottawa.

Rousek is riding a two-game point streak with two assists, but his status for Wednesday's game against the Ottawa Senators is up in the air. The 24-year-old Rousek has only played nine games this season.

Luukkonen will start in Edmonton on Thursday.

The Sabres will turn to Luukkonen for the sixth time in the last seven games after giving him the night off in their last outing, a 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Luukkonen has been tremendous lately, winning four of his last five (4-1-0), including saving 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in his last outing, a 6-2 win over the Seattle Kraken. The Sabres enter action as +190 road underdogs against the high-scoring Edmonton Oilers.

Levi will start in Vancouver on Tuesday.

The Sabres will turn to Levi for the tail-end of their back-to-back after Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen got the call for Monday's game in Seattle. It will be Levi's first NHL game since January 24th, a game in which he allowed just three goals on 40 shots in a 5-3 victory over the Kings. The Sabres opted to send Levi down to Rochester (AHL) shortly thereafter in order to assure him more playing time as Luukkonen ran away with the starting job. Levi will be hoping to stake a claim for more playing time after amassing an 11-5-3 record to go along with a .927 SV% across 19 AHL appearances.

Luukkonen will start on Monday vs. Seattle.

The Sabres three-game winning streak was snapped in a 4-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday, but they will return to Luukkonen between the pipes for the fifth straight game. Despite allowing three goals on 25 shots (.880 SV%) on Saturday, Luukkonen has been sensational over the last month, posting a .925 SV% in 15 games (10-4-1). The Sabres enter action as +104 road underdogs against the Seattle Kraken.

Luukkonen will start against the Islanders on Thursday.

The Sabres have won two straight and will return to Luukkonen between the pipes on Thursday night. Luukkonen has allowed three or fewer goals in 10 straight (7-2-1), posting a tremendous .924 SV%. The playoffs remain a longshot for the Sabres but the 25-year-old Luukkonen has been a bright spot on an otherwise disappointing season, keeping them within reaching distance of a Wild Card spot. The Sabres enter action as slight -102 home underdogs against the New York Islanders.
